and enhance human life.

4. TYPES OF FARMING

• MUSHROOM CULTIVATION
• FLORICULTURE
• TERRACE FARMING
• ANIMAL HUSBANDARY

5. PISCICULTURE
• Branch of farming which involves rearing of fish
and prawn on a commercial basis.
• It includes : a. Edible fish
b. Ornamental fish
c. Prawns
 Egs. Of edible fish : Gourami, Karpe, Rohu, Katla

16. TERRACE FARMING
• method of growing crops on sides of hills or
mountains by planting on graduated terraces built

and to reduce soil erosion and water loss.

18. FLORICULTURE

20. CONCLUSION
• Efficient utilization of scarce and costly resources
is the need of the hour to make crop production a
viable proposition in the present day competitive
scenario.
• It provides alternate and sustainable avocation to
marginal and sub-marginalfarmers. Fruit,
mushroom, apiary, animal production and poultry
have beenmore viable with them.

21. • A better planning and utilization of the
available resources will usher in bright
prospects for the farm economy as a whole.
