The term, ‘intensive subsistence agriculture’ is used to describe a type of agriculture characterised by high output per unit of land and relatively low output per worker. Sometimes it is also known as ‘monsoon type of agriculture’. It is found in China, Japan, Korea, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the greater part of continental South- East Asia.
