Explanation:

1. Commercial plantation - large monocultures of trees or shrubs.

Commercial plantation refers to the type of farming where blocks of trees or shrubs, usually from the same species, are grown.

2. Intensive subsistence - involves the cultivation of small areas.

In this type of farming, people use small areas of land to cultivate food and beverages that will only be consumed by the family.

3. Farming - Grown for food and beverages.

Farming or agriculture is an extremely important activity worldwide. It refers to the growth of crops and livestock. Therefore, this involves the production of both food and beverages.

4. Nomadic herding - farmers raise animals in arid regions.

In this type of farming, nomads, who live in arid to semiarid regions but are in constant movement, raise livestock to constantly find new areas where pasture is fresh.

5. Commercial grain farming - farmers practice farming on an industrial scale.

Grain farms are usually very large and, therefore, highly mechanised. In commercial grain farming, as its name implies, farmers grow crops at an industrial scale.
