Mediterranean Agriculture It is a form of agriculture found in Mediterranean type of climate. The four main aspects are orchard farming, viticulture, cereal and vegetable cultivation.
Products grown include: olives, pomegranates, oranges, fig, pears, grapes, etc. It is that type of agriculture found in the areas surrounding Mediterranean Sea which have mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers and also in those areas with similar climate- central and southern California, central Chile, the south west of Cape Province, the south west of Western Australia. This region is an important supplier of citrus fruits. Best quality wines in the world with distinctive fl avours are produced from high quality grapes. The inferior grapes are dried into raisins and currants.
The advantage of Mediterranean agriculture is that more valuable crops such as fruits and vegetables age grown in winters when there is great demand in European and North American markets. Market gardening and Horticulture
A market garden is relatively smallscale production of fruits, vegetables and fl owers as cash crops, frequently sold directly to consumers and restaurants. Commercial gardening or horticulture is growing fl owers and non-edible plants on a large scale.
This type of agriculture is well developed in densely populated industrial districts of northwest Europe, north eastern United States of America and the Mediterranean regions. Truck farming The regions where farmers specialize in vegetables only, the farming is known as truck farming. The distance of truck farms from the market is governed by the distance that a truck can cover overnight, hence the name truck farming.
The major truck farming areas are in California, Texas, Florida, along the Atlantic Coastal Plain, and in the great Lakes area. Factory farming
Intensive animal farming or industrial livestock production is known as factory farming. It is a type of intensive agriculture, specially an approach to animal husbandry designed to maximize production, while minimizing cost.
A modern development in the industrial regions of Western Europe and North America is factory farming. Livestock, particularly poultry and cattle rearing are fed on manufactured feedstuff and carefully supervised against diseases.
