AP HuG Unit 5 Agricultural Land-Use Patterns

Involves timber, fisheries, and mineral and energy resources

Requires significant labor input or focuses on a small plot of land

Involves limited labor input or spreads across large areas of land

Earliest forms of agriculture

Seasonal movement to follow animal herds and native plants

Agriculture based on seasonal animal movement

Communities drive herds between seasonal grazing areas

Grazing livestock in a single large area

Common in early political civilizations, focuses on staple crops

Single farm with diverse crops and animals for varied intake

Intensive mixed farming meeting all household needs

People per unit of arable land, higher in third world countries

Necessity for survival via drying, pickling, and storage

Farming under communism done collectively, eliminating private land

Interactions with nature, including farming practices

Predator order in the animal world, integrated with human inputs

Planting different crops on the same land in successive years

Successive planting of two crops in a single plot in a year

Planting three crops in the same plot in a year

Critical in arid climates, responsible for most freshwater use

Preserving the environment while maintaining crop production

Maximum crop or animal production without resource endangerment

Raised for industrial use or as animal feed, important for energy

Farmers shift plots due to soil nutrient depletion in rainforest regions

Shifting animal herds between grazing pastures in arid regions

Human processes turning vegetated areas into desert

Mineral salts trap due to water evaporation, poisoning crops

Influence food growth methods, trade, and societal support

Historical shifts in farming methods and productivity enhancements

Growing wild plant shoots, stems, and roots together

Collecting and replanting fertilized seed grains and fruits

Cultivating plant varieties for different soil or climate conditions

Origins of early agricultural activities and domestication

Relocation diffusion of domesticated New World crops

Technological advancements in agriculture post

Introduction of tropical hybrids and chemical inputs in Third

Important plant hybrid innovation for increased productivity

Chemical substances to control pests, diseases, and weeds

Inclusive farming approach and internationalization of industrialized farming

Manipulating genes to enhance agricultural productivity

Synthetic hormone used in beef and milk production to increase yields

Plants or animals with altered DNA for desired traits

Ill or lame cows unsuitable for human consumption

Farming focusing on specific products or methods

Growing crops without synthetic chemicals or genetic engineering

Focuses on fair payment to small farmers and artisans

Farming aquatic organisms like fish or shellfish

Cultivation of crops typical to the Mediterranean region

Production of milk and dairy products

Region where fresh milk is delivered without spoiling

Female role in agricultural production and challenges faced

Links from producers to consumers in product delivery

Elements needed for optimal crop yield like fertilizers and tools

Substances promoting growth in birds

Survival strategies during farm crises

Essential for transporting agricultural goods

Land use based on labor intensity

Equated to rent paid by peasants for land
