1. Transhumance- the seasoned migration of livestock between mountains and low land pastures.
Example: Transhumance was practiced in the Swiss Alps, located in Switzerland. Seasonal droving of grazing livestock, such as cattle, occurred between the valleys in winter and the high mountain pastures in summer. Transhumance throughout the Alps has drastically impacted its shape. Without transhumance, the Alps would consist predominantly of forests. To this day, seasonal migration to high pastures are still practiced in Switzerland.
2. Pasture- grass or other plants grown for feeding grazing animals, as well as land used for grazing.
Example: Pasture lands are found in most the America’s states and territories. These lands comprise about 6%, or …show more content…
In Asia, wet rice is considered to be the region’s most important food source, but it only occupies a small percentage of the country’s total arable land. Growing wet rice is labor-intensive. It needs be grown on flat land, so hillsides are terraced to increase the area of production. Intensive wet-farming is down throughout the world, predominately found in regions: Southeast China, East India, and much of Southeast Asia. Growing wet rice is an elaborate process that take and a long times and requires a lot of …show more content…
Sawah- a flooded field for growing rice.
Example: Wet rice, the one most planted crops in Asia, is planted on drylands in a nursery and then deliberately moved to a swag to promote growth. Growing wet rice is an elaborate, difficult and time consuming process. After planting the rice on dryland, the land is then flooded with water from rainfall, river overfill, or irrigation. This sawah has to have just the right amount of water since too much or too little amount can damage the crop. With the crops, farmers in South Asia loose food and have many problems when it comes to feeding their
