Intensive Subsistence and Double Cropping
Captions available
The idea
Intensive subsistence agriculture uses small parcels of land effectively and efficiently to maximize yield per hectare, on rice, wheat and vegetables. Where the climate is mild, double cropping plants and harvests the fields twice a year.
In practice
High agricultural density, from unit 11: many farmers per field.
Where people slip
Intensive means labor per hectare, not profit.
