This agriculture is adapted to dry climates, where planting crops is impossible. Pastoral nomads depend primarily on animals for survival, they provide milk and their skin/hair is used for clothing and tents.
Pros/Cons: Pastoral Nomadism is a good way of surviving in dry climates. It is also a good way of getting free clothing and supplies from animals. Nomadic families are taking land used to receive resources, so governments are having problems resettling them.
Crops: Pastoral nomads consume mostly grain rather than meat. Nomads sow grain in recently flooded areas and return a year later to harvest the crop. 
Important Terms: Pasture, Transhumance
Where is it found?: Pastoral nomads live primarily in the large belt of arid and semiarid land that includes Central and Southwest Asia, and North Africa.]]> 2017-03-14 20:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/342920/xa58thfrvuod/wish/160101517 342920 https://padlet.com/342920/xa58thfrvuod/wish/160101687 Characteristics:
Shifting cultivation is often practiced in tropical regions, areas with high temperatures and abundant rainfall.  It's slash and burn agriculture where farmers clear land for planting by slashing vegetation is a well known feature of shfiting cultivation along with the fact that
farmers only grow crops on cleared fields for a few years until soil nutrients are depleted.
Crops:
Common crops grown for shifting cultivation are maize and cassava, upland rice, and sorghum. Sites for these are Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa
Where is it found:
Shifting cultivation is common throughout topical regions in Southeast Asia (upland rice), South America ( maize and cassava), and across Africa (sorghum).
Pros/Cons:
Shifting cultivation is an environmentally sound approach for tropics compared to other systems.
However it does contribute to global warming with the burning of trees and emission of carbon dioxide.

Crops:Crops grown are Cotton,sugarcane,coffee,rubber,and tobacco.Also produced in large quantities are cocoa,jute,bananas,tea,coconuts,and palm oil.
Where is it found:In the tropics and subtropics, especially in Latin America,Africa,and Asia.
Pros:among the most important crops grown on the plantation are cotton,sugarcane,coffee,rubber and tobacco
Cons:Tobacco,cotton and sugarcane can only be planted once a year.
Important terms:Plantation,an estate on which crops such as coffee, sugar, and tobacco are cultivated by resident labor.

Irregularly shaped lands are planted to not waste land. Paths and roads are as narrow as possible to minimize the loss of arable land. Wet rice occupies a small % of Asia's arable land, but is the region's most important source of food.    Crops: The primary crop grown is rice.
Where is it found: This type of agriculture is found in East, South, and Southwest Asia.
Pros/ Cons: The areas where wet rice is grown are the main source of food in Asia.The consumers and family members of of the rice contribute to the work. The rice producers use all the land they have to not be wasteful. Farmers use double-cropping as a way to alternate between crops that are more suited for different climates. 
Important terms: Intensive subsistence agriculture, sawah, paddy, chaff, threshed, winnowed, hull, and double cropping  ]]> 2017-03-15 02:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/342920/xa58thfrvuod/wish/160147131 4431681 https://padlet.com/342920/xa58thfrvuod/wish/160150819 Characteristics: Land is used intensively and worked primarily by human power. In places where wet rice does not dominate, more than one harvest can be made through crop rotation. Wheat and other crops are grown in spring and harvested in in the fall. China's government organized agricultural communes, consisting of several villages of several hundred people. In China, productivity did not increase because people worked less efficiently for the commune than for themselves.   
Crops: Wheat, rice, millet, oats, sorghum, corn, and soybeans.
Where is it found?: This  kind of agriculture is found in Asia, mainly in the interior of India and Northeastern China. 
Pros/Cons: Through crop rotation, farmers avoid exhaustion of soil. Land is worked primarily by human power, so the process might be slower. Also, farmers work less efficiently in the commune than working for themselves.
Important terms: Crop rotation
