IGCSE Environmental Management Practice Test

A farming system that combines growing crops and rearing livestock is called what?

Mixed farming Mineral Noble gas Mulch

Correct Answer:

Mixed farming

Explanation:

Mixing crop production with the rearing of animals describes a farming system called mixed farming. This approach uses the two parts to support each other: manure from livestock acts as natural fertilizer for crops, crop residues can feed livestock, and having both enterprises spreads economic risk and provides diverse outputs. The other options don’t describe a farming system—minerals relate to nutrients, noble gas is an inert element, and mulch is a soil cover material—so they don’t capture the idea of integrating crops and livestock on one farm.
