What is the difference between arable farming and livestock farming?

Give two examples of food products and two examples of non-food products that come from livestock farming.

Name the five main areas of the Primary Sector.
Mining, Fishing, Farming, Forestry, and Agriculture.
What is mining?

Which are the two types of livestock farming (animals)?
Extensive farming and Intensive farming
What is aquaculture?
Breeding fish- basically farming in water.
What is the primary sector?
All activities and jobs that exploit natural resources.
Metallic minerals are:
Iron and Gold
True or False: Dry crops need larger fields (more space) than irrigated crops.
True
True or False: In intensive farming, livestock live in large fields and eat what grows naturally.
False. Extensive farming.
What are the two different types of sea fishing?
Deep sea fishing and shallow sea fishing.
What is forestry?
The cultivation and exploitation of wood.
Granite and Marble
The most important dry crops in Spain are:
wheat, grapes and olives! Olives are very important for Andalucia.
In intensive farming, what do animals eat?
Food that farmers give them, sometimes produced in factories.
True or False: In deep sea fishing, small boats are used away from the cost.
False! They must use big boats away from the coast.
Energetic/ Combustible Minerals are:
Oil, Gas and Coal
Which are the typical crops grown on irrigated farming (need water to grow)?
Tomatoes, beans and melons.
Give one example each of extensive livestock farming and intensive livestock farming.
Extensive farming: Iberian pigs
Intensive farming: Milk cows
True or False: In shallow sea fishing, small boats are used closer to the coast.
True!
