Intensive Subsistence Farming in Northeast China

When my time in Canada was through, I packed my bags and flew across the Pacific to China. China is a most developed country located in Southeast Asia. Although China happens to be a highly developed country, subsistence farming usually takes place in lesser developed countries. Subsistence farming is the growing of crops, in this case other than rice, for personal gain. The northeast is China’s most important source of soybeans and corn. Irrigation systems are used on larger farms in order to efficiently water all crops. Because this particular type of farming falls under the subsistence farming category, advertisement and marketing are not commonly necessary.

Strengths: precipitation levels do not need to be high

Challenges: labor intensive
