cultural ecology; local habitats; farming; primary activities

Cultural ecology is an interdisciplinary field of study that examines the relationship between cultural groups, their natural environment, and the resources they depend on. It examines the sustainability of human behavior in terms of its dependence on the environment and the interconnectedness of the two. Local habitats refer to the environment surrounding a particular community and the resources that are found there. This includes plants, animals, the climate, and human activities. Farming involves the domestication of plants and animals, along with the use of land for agricultural production of food, fiber, fuel, and other goods. It includes crop production, livestock raising, and other activities related to these. Primary activities are activities that are necessary for the functioning of a society, such as food production, shelter, clothing, etc. Primary activities are those that sustain life and allow for social and economic development.
