Question

Identify the type of agriculture predominantly practised in the Australian Downs.

• A. Mixed Farming
• B. Plantation Agriculture
• C. Co-operative Farming
• D. Extensive Commercial Grain Cultivation

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Australian Downs, a vast region of grasslands, is well-known for Extensive Commercial Grain Cultivation. The region’s large flat plains and suitable climate allow for the large-scale cultivation of grains such as wheat and barley. This form of farming covers large areas with mechanized operations and minimal labor.

Other types of agriculture like Mixed Farming, Plantation Agriculture, and Co-operative Farming are practiced in different regions and do not predominantly represent the Australian Downs.
