Agricultural Regions
Agricultural regions are areas of land specifically designated for farming and crop production. These regions vary based on climate, soil type, and available resources, which influence the types of crops grown and livestock raised. Common agricultural regions include the Great Plains in the United States, known for wheat production, and the Pampas in Argentina, famous for cattle ranching.
Different agricultural practices are employed in these regions, such as crop rotation and sustainable farming, to maintain soil health and increase productivity. Additionally, agricultural regions can be classified into subsistence farming, where farmers grow food primarily for their families, and commercial farming, which focuses on producing crops for sale in markets.
