tropical farming
Humid-zone crop cultivation
Tropical farming is agriculture practiced in regions near the equator, where warm temperatures and heavy rainfall create distinct growing conditions.
These climates support crops that won't survive temperate winters—bananas, cocoa, coffee, sugarcane, palm oil, and rubber.
Tropical farming often involves clearing rainforest for cultivation.
The term encompasses both subsistence farming and large-scale plantation agriculture.
