Arable farming land refers to the type of land suitable for growing crops. It's fertile, well-drained and typically enriched with necessary nutrients that support plant growth.
Crop Rotation: This is a method in agriculture where different types of crops are grown on the same piece of land in sequential seasons. It helps maintain soil fertility and reduce soil erosion.
Irrigation: This is the artificial application of water to soil or land to assist in the growth of crops. It's like giving a thirsty person a drink when natural sources (like rain) aren't available.
Fallow Land: This refers to farmland that is left unplanted for one or more growing seasons. Like taking a break after working hard for long hours, fallow lands are given rest so they can regain their fertility.
