Which of the following subsistence patterns does not require knowledge of irrigation?

Question

Nomadism

Transhumance

Foraging

Slash-and-burn technique

Answer 1

Foraging is the subsistence pattern that does not require knowledge of irrigation. Foraging, also known as hunting and gathering, relies on naturally available resources rather than agricultural techniques, including irrigation. In contrast, the other subsistence patterns, such as nomadism, transhumance, and the slash-and-burn technique, either directly involve or can benefit from irrigation methods to enhance agricultural production.
