Which of the following statements is not correct about Nomadic herding ?
Answer: A
The incorrect statement is that nomadic herding is a form of intensive subsistence agriculture.
Nomadic herding is the classic extensive form of land use: herders move their animals over very large areas of natural pasture, with low inputs and a low yield per unit of land. Calling it intensive is the error.
The other statements are correct. It is practised across the great belt of arid and semi-arid lands from North Africa through Arabia to Central Asia; it is an ancient, aboriginal form of livestock raising; and herders choose the kind and number of animals (camels, goats, sheep, yaks, reindeer) to suit local, cultural and physical conditions.
