The Rice Wheat Farming System

Agriculture is only one of the many contributes to where we are today. Geographic location affects agriculture because each specific crop has needs, if you can’t meet those needs, then you can’t grow the crops. Some plants need super wet land and some need super dry land ,let’s say you live in Papua New Guinea they live closer the the equator so they have the same weather year round. So if you’re constantly getting the same amount of sunlight all year then you’ll only be able to grow the same crops over and over again. Papua New Guinea had sago, to get sago people there would have to cut down the sago tree, cut the sago tree in half and collect the sago inside. With sago you have to have a wet climate, the sago tree takes three or four days to prepare. Sago does not last long after it is prepared, sago is low in protein and uses more calories then it gives. But Fertile Crescent on the other hand live farther from the equator, so they end up getting four seasons while rotating around the sun.Which leads to an advantage in almost everything. A change in weather four times a year gives them a chance to plant and grow

Today, there is less than half of Australian’s arid zone environment used for farming. Majority of the farming in the arid zone of Australia is for either sheep or cattle, with only a few small, irrigated crops scatted throughout the area (Kaul 1971). As a result, this report will focus on other countries such as North, South and Central America, Africa and Asia (Creswell & Martin 1998). (Please note, Asia’s arid zones are known as a ‘dry zones’, but for this report the generally term ‘arid zone’ will be used).

Indian groups have adopted agriculture. The ability to grow crops has a huge implication for the

Livestock's contribution to farming agriculture is significant, but over the past few decades, livestock farming has shifted

South Asia is one of the most densely populated regions of the world, where despite a slow growth, agriculture remains the backbone of rural economy as it employs one half to over 90 percent of the labor force. Both extensive and intensive policy measures for agriculture

Human societies since the beginning of time have probably committed more land to Agricultural production than for any other purpose. Demand for land especially for Agricultural production in many parts of the globe is on the increase. Studies have revealed that the rise in demand for food to feed the world’s teaming population, the increased demand for agricultural output to produce alternative energy, high agricultural product prices are amount other factors that have caused a surge in the demand for agricultural land globally.

Since the beginning of agricultural farming, farmers have utilized processes of selection and sorts of “cross-breeding” in order to improvise upon the quality of the crops that they farm. The process of selection consists of a very systematic means of selecting crops and plants that have fertilized in a superior mode than that of sister plants from the same crop. The utilization of these superior crops helps to ensure more consistent plants and crops that reflect that of the superior selection. Crop selection may also refer to the specific types of crops chosen for agricultural farming. These selections are based on the simplicity of farming that crop and it’s profitability (Bareja, 2011). “Cross-breeding” in farming and agriculture consists of the

of soil types and climate conditions. It can produce 2 to 3 times more crop than

Cultivation of wheat started around 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent during the Neolithic Revolution when hunter-gatherer lifestyle transitioned into agriculture-based society. The first cultivated wheats were einkorn (Triticum urartu), with diploid AA genome, and emmer wheat (T. turgidum L. subspecies dicoccum, traditionally known as T. dicoccum), with tetraploid AABB genome (Dvorak et al. 1998; Dvořák et al. 1993; Gopher 2002; Harlan and Zohary 1966). Hexaploid wheat appeared around 9000 years ago when tetraploid wheat underwent crosses with Aegilops tauschii, with diploid DD genome, to give hexaploid wheat (Salamini et al. 2002; Feldman 2001).

Farming has been around for many ages. It is the only reason why we are not “naked and hungry.” Farming is one of the top jobs we need to stay alive. Food is one of people’s top priorities in life. Everyone needs food and these farmers are the main suppliers that have it. Weight and cow is one of the crops and animals farmers grow and use that is probably the most selling and also used.

India is in the monsoon zone. Monsoons drastically affected the way in which the agriculture system worked. The monsoon are created by the direction the wind is moving which would bring in heavy raining. The farmers learned how to crop at certain times of the year, trying to use the

A whole new economic activity has now emerged because of Keggfarms, which till now was a routine, redundant but a certain source of income even though meagre. The key results could be underlined as: significant contribution to household income, gender Empowerment, alternate livelihoods at several points, food security and environmental converter of rubbish into food. The Govt of India, Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, set up a committee headed by a senior technocrat from NABARD to study the rural poultry scenario with a view to include this sector in the venture capital fund of the department in the Tenth Five Year Plan. The study revealed that Kuroiler farming in the traditional style was being extensively practiced in villages with substantial benefits to rural stakeholders. NABARD presented bankable and venture capital funding for Kuroiler farming projects in rural areas In 2009, a joint venture of FAO and NDDB (SAPPLPP) studied the impact of the Keggfarms model of Kuroiler farming in rural India. Results indicated that very substantial benefits were accruing to rural stakeholders. (Kapur & Singh)

An increase in India’s population has led to a decline of land for cultivation. To begin with, there are more than 75% of population are farmers. The number causes an increase demand of land for farming. In addition, if the needs of land for cultivation increase, then it results in overexploitation of land which leads to soil degradation. In that case, the fertile land for cultivation

The overall picture of rising average yields and rising production in Bangladesh has tended to hide the evidence of declining productivity of the sector. Farmers often claim that yields have been declining and that higher fertilizer applications are necessary to maintain yields. Most available data is on the rice production. (Pagiola, 1995)

This report has been conducted on the East Asia region based on the information provided by the universities of Kansas State and Massey. The focus of this report is to identify and describe important characteristics, issues and trends of the region from an agricultural perspective. To provide an introduction and insight first a brief summary of East Asia will be provided.
