Tropical Farming
Tropical farming refers to agricultural practices in regions with a warm climate, typically found near the equator. This type of farming takes advantage of the abundant sunlight and rainfall, allowing for the cultivation of a variety of crops such as bananas, cocoa, and coffee. Farmers often use techniques like intercropping and agroforestry to maximize land use and maintain soil health.
In tropical farming, the growing season is usually year-round, which can lead to higher yields compared to temperate farming. However, challenges such as pests, diseases, and climate variability can impact productivity. Sustainable practices, including organic farming and crop rotation, are increasingly adopted to address these issues.
