Crop Rotation: A farming practice that involves planting different crops in succession on the same piece of land over time. This helps maintain soil fertility and prevent the depletion of nutrients.
Subsistence Farming: A type of farming where farmers produce enough food for themselves and their families. It typically involves small-scale agriculture with limited use of machinery or modern technology.
Cash Crops: Crops grown primarily for sale rather than personal consumption. Cash crops such as tobacco, indigo, and rice were important sources of income for colonial farmers.
