Can you enlist some crops which are grown in such farming?

Explanation

The question refers to the type of farming Rinjha's family is engaged in, which is primitive subsistence farming (slash and burn agriculture). The textbook explicitly states that farmers in this type of farming 'produce cereals and other food crops to sustain their family.' The context does not provide specific crop names for this farming type, only the general categories of cereals and food crops.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify the type of farming from the context - Rinjha's family practices primitive subsistence farming (slash and burn agriculture).

  2. Step 2: Extract the crops mentioned in the context for this farming type - 'cereals and other food crops'.
