What are the 2 types of farming?

There are many ways to categorize farming, but two common broad types are:

1. Subsistence Farming: This type of farming focuses on producing enough food to feed the farmer and their family, with little or no surplus for sale. It is typically found in developing countries and often involves manual labor and traditional methods.

2. Commercial Farming: This type of farming focuses on producing crops and livestock for sale in the market. It often involves large-scale operations, specialized equipment, and advanced technologies.

There are many other ways to classify farming, including by:

* Type of crop: (e.g., grain farming, fruit farming, vegetable farming)

* Type of livestock: (e.g., cattle farming, poultry farming, pig farming)

* Farming methods: (e.g., organic farming, conventional farming, hydroponics)

* Scale: (e.g., small-scale farming, medium-scale farming, large-scale farming)

Ultimately, the best way to categorize farming depends on the specific context and the purpose of the categorization.
