    Agricultural production systems utilize available resources to meet demands for food, fuel and fiber. Landscapes are areas significantly influenced by farming where crops are grown. Arable land supports temporary crops, permanent crops occupy land for extended periods, and permanent pasture is used for at least five years. Ornamentals are plants grown for aesthetics rather than food. Plantations are large-scale commercial operations that cultivate crops or trees and require intensive management. Benefits include income, employment, and carbon sequestration, while challenges involve environmental degradation, labor exploitation, and land ownership issues.

    GROUP 6:

    SPECIALIZED PRODUCTION SYSTEMS


    Agricultural production systems are
    simply the ways in which a farmer
    makes use of available resources to
    meet their food, fuel, and fiber
    demands.
    LANDSCAPES
    • Is an area where nature is significantly influenced by
    farming activities such as plowing, tilling, irrigation,
    fertilization and changes to topography (e.g., drainage,
    structures).
    • It is also defined as the land area that either arable,
    under permanent crops, or under permanent pastures.
    • Arable land includes under temporary crops such as cereals,
    temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market
    or kitchen gardens, and land for temporarily fallow.
    • Permanent crops such as orchards and vineyards, occupy the land
    for extended periods of time without needing to be replaced after
    each harvest.
    • Permanent pasture is define as land that has been used for feed,
    including wild and cultivated crops, for five years or more.
    ORNAMENTALS
    • Plants that are grown primarily for their beauty rather
    that for their fruit or flowers. They are often used in
    landscaping to add color and interest to a garden.
    • Vegetables and fruits are not considered attractive
    because they are not considered attractive because they
    are planted to embellish, improve, or decorate the
    environment.
    • Flower color, size, volatiles, aroma, flower and leaf
    longevity, morphology, and plant architecture are all
    desirable qualities of ornamentals.
    • Ornamentals don’t just improve the aesthetic appeal of
    the garden property but they also act as wind barriers
    providing great quality of space. They provide habitat for
    many organisms and also clean up pollutants from
    nearby pollinating plants.
    PLANTATIONS
    • Refers to the cultivation of crops or tress on
    a large space for commercial purposes and it
    requires high management inputs in terms of
    tillage, fertilizers, irrigation and pesticides.
    • It is an important aspect of agriculture and
    has been practiced for thousand of years.
    COMMON TYPES OF
    PLANTATIONS
    • AGRICULTURAL PLANTATIONS
     These plantations are used for the cultivation of crops, such as rice, wheat, maize and
    soybean.

    • HORTICULTURAL PLANTATIONS
     Are used for the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

    • FORESTRY PLANTATIONS
     Are used for the cultivation of trees for timber and other wood products.
    BENEFITS OF
    PLANTATIONS
    Plantations offers several benefits, both the economy and the environment. Some of the
    benefits include:
    • ECONOMIC BENEFITS
     Plantations generate income and employment opportunities for the farmers, workers,
    and local communities. They also contribute to the country’s foreign exchange earnings
    through the export of cash crops.

    • ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
     Plantations help to prevent soil erosion, improve soil fertility, and provide habitat for
    wildlife. They also play a vital role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon
    dioxide from the atmosphere.
    CHALLENGE OF
    PLANTATION
    • ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
    Large-scale plantation operations can lead to soil degradation, deforestation and loss of
    biodiversity.

    • LABOR EXPLOITATION
    In many cases, plantation workers are exploited and subjected to poor working conditions, low
    wages and lack of basic amenities.

    • LAND OWNERSHIP
    Plantation operations often require large tracts of land, which can lead to land grabbing and
    displacement of local communities.
