Types of Agriculture and Locational Conditions in Central Asia

The types of agriculture in Central Asia are mainly nomadic pastoralism and irrigated agriculture.

In the north of Kazakhstan, the steppes of the Kazakh hilly regions are well watered and suitable for nomadic pastoralism. Therefore, a large amount of Kazakhstan's grasslands are utilized by nomadic pastoralism. The development of nomadic pastoralism in Central Asia provides a large amount of wool and milk.

In addition, irrigated agriculture in Central Asia also occupies an important place. This is because Central Asia has a temperate continental climate with aridity and little rain, and the vegetation is mainly steppe. This climatic condition allows livestock farming to develop vigorously in Central Asia. And cultivation relies mainly on irrigation by the waters of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers.

In summary, the types of agriculture in Central Asia mainly include nomadic pastoralism and irrigated agriculture, respectively, adapted to the climate characteristics of arid and low rainfall in Central Asia and the advantages of rich grassland resources.
