Traps in Agriculture

• Misunderstands farming systems
  Shifting cultivation/bush fallow: subsistence, hoe and cutlass, moving plots as soils tire. Plantation: large-scale cash crops, capital-intensive.
• Picks the wrong place or location
  Learn each resource or feature with its location on a map, and the reason it occurs there.
• Picks a closely related feature or term
  Learn related features as contrasting pairs: how each forms and what it looks like.
• Gives only part of the answer
  Recall the full definition or list of factors and check the option covers it.
• Reverses the process or effect
  Trace the cause and effect step by step and check the direction at each step.
