After my visit in Thailand was complete, I headed south to Malaysia, in effort to learn about subsistence mixed farming. Malaysia is a least developed country located in Southeast Asia. Mixed farming is a type of farming in which a farmer conducts different agricultural practices together, such as cash crops and livestock. This type of farming involves cultivating crops, while also raising animals for meat or milk on the same farm. I did not find mixed farming very captivating due to the fact that it is missing the marketing aspect.
Strengths: work throughout the whole year, farmers do not have to rely on only one source
Challenges: more tools and equipment are required
