Commercial farming always differs from subsistence farming inCommercial farming always differs from subsistence farming in 1. Selection of crops 2. Use of modern agricultural inputs 3. Farm size 4. Sale of farm produce in the marketSelect the correct answer using the code given below.

🌟 Key Points
→ The fundamental difference between subsistence and commercial farming is that, while subsistence farming is one in which the crops are grown for one's own consumption, commercial farming is when the crops are grown for trading purposes.
→ Rice is a commercial crop in Haryana and Punjab, but in Orissa, it is a subsistence crop. The selection of crops can be the same in both types of farming. Hence, 1 is NOT correct.
→ Farm size must be small in subsistence farming as the farmer has to feed a single family only. In commercial farming, produce is to sell in the market, so farms must be large and economically viable. Hence, 3 and 4 are correct.
→ The main characteristic of commercial farming is the use of higher doses of modern inputs, e.g. high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and pesticides in order to obtain higher productivity. Hence, 2 is correct.
→ The degree of commercialization of agriculture varies from one region to another.
