tropical agriculture

Tropical agriculture refers to farming practices in regions with warm climates and high rainfall, typically near the equator. This type of agriculture focuses on crops that thrive in such conditions, like rice, cocoa, coffee, and bananas. Farmers in these areas often utilize techniques suited to the unique challenges of the tropics, such as managing pests and diseases, improving soil quality, and conserving water. Sustainable practices are increasingly important to protect the environment and ensure food security. Tropical agriculture plays a vital role in the economy of many developing countries by providing livelihoods and supporting local communities.
