Herding of domesticated animals as the main subsistence strategy is called?

• A. Pastoral Nomadism
• B. Urban Farming
• C. Food Desert
• D. Agribusiness

Answer: (A)

Pastoral nomadism is the practice of herding domesticated animals as the primary way people obtain food and livelihood, often involving movement to follow seasonal pastures and water. In arid or semi-arid regions where crop farming is difficult, people rely on herds of cattle, sheep, goats, or camels for meat, milk, hides, and wool, moving as needed to access grazing. This focus on mobility and livestock distinguishes it from urban farming (cultivating crops in cities), a food desert (areas with limited access to fresh foods), and agribusiness (large-scale commercial farming).
