mixed farming  

Definition

  • Mixed farming includes both arable and livestock farming. However, it has many forms depending on different and interrelated factors including the level of technology available, the relative financial rewards for crops and livestock, farmers’ perceptions of risk and their attitudes about farming (e.g., organic/nonorganic), political conditions, the national and international policies of governments, climatic and other physical variables, and the availability of labor.
