A type of farming where crops are grown, and animals are reared for selling in the market is called commercial farming. In the areas that receive less rainfall and no irrigation facilities, crops that require less water are cultivated. This type of farming is known as dry farming.

Mixed farming is a type of farming where the land is used to grow food and fodder crops, and rear animals.

Terrace farming is when people conduct farming in hilly areas by creating small patches of flat land out of sloped areas.
