This includes harvesting, ploughing, rearing animals and milking. F arming systems are determined by the type of farm. Farms can be classified as being arable, pastoral, mixed and market gardening. Arable farms grow crops. Pastoral farms specialise in rearing animals.
Mixed farms are both pastoral and arable.
Farms that have a high level of inputs are intensive . These achieve a high yield per hectare. An example would be arable farming in East Anglia or rice farming in South East Asia. Those farms that have low input and output per hectare are extensive . An example would be a sheep farm in North Wales or a cattle ranch in Brazil.
