A family grows maize on a small plot, eats most of the harvest, and sells only a little at a village market. What kind of agriculture is this?

A company farms thousands of acres of wheat with combines and sells the harvest to grain elevators. What kind of agriculture is this?

In a highland village, a household plants potatoes and beans mainly to feed relatives and barters a few extra sacks locally. How should this farm be classified?

A dairy farm buys feed, uses refrigerated trucks, and sells milk to regional processors. What kind of agriculture is this?

A small rice plot provides almost all of one family's food, with only a few baskets sold after the harvest. What kind of farming is described?

A vineyard hires seasonal workers and ships grapes to wineries for profit. What kind of agriculture is this?

A crop needs warm temperatures, standing water in fields, and a long rainy season. What climate and landform best suit it?

Coffee grows best with mild tropical temperatures, reliable moisture, well-drained slopes, and little frost. What place best fits those requirements?

A grain crop needs moderate rainfall, fertile soil, and broad flat fields where large machines can operate. What place is best suited for it?

Wine grapes do well with warm dry summers, mild wet winters, and well-drained hillsides. What climate and landform best fit them?

Cotton needs a long frost-free growing season, warm temperatures, and either irrigation or moderate rainfall. Where is it best suited?

Potatoes tolerate cool temperatures and grow well in loose, well-drained soils. What place best matches those needs?

Farmers clear a forest plot, burn vegetation for ash, grow crops for a few years, then move when fertility drops. Geographers call this:

Herders move camels and goats between seasonal grazing areas across an arid region and grow no crops. Geographers call this:
