Question

Compare the three distinct types of Western European agriculture. Identify the region and what is grown or produced that makes that type of agriculture unique.

Answer 1

The three different types of Western European agriculture are:

- Mediterranean polyculture; it is practiced alongside the Mediterranean, in here we have farming of wheat that grows in the mild winters and is cropped in spring, as well as plantages with deep rooted trees that are resilient to droughts like the vine trees and olives.

- Dairy farming; this type is typical for the places that are colder and cloudy like the Alps, the Baltic, the British Isles and Brettony. This is places are focused on dairy farming because the conditions don't allow anything else to be farmed, but it is excellent for dairy farming.

- Mixed livestock and crop farming; this agricultural belt is found between the Mediterranean polyculture region and the dairy farming region. In here there's not really focus on specific thing to farm but instead there's multiple plants and animals being farmed.
