Climate, with large number of days with sunshine and fertile soils permits growing of more than one crop annually on the same plot .

It results in much more food being produced per acre compared to other subsistence patterns . In the most intensive situation, farmers may even create terraces along steep hillsides to cultivate rice paddies . Such fields are found in densely populated parts of Asia, such as in The Philippines . They may also intensify by using manure, artificial irrigation and animal waste as fertilizer . Intensive subsistence farming is prevalent in the thickly populated areas of the monsoon regions of south, southwest, and east Asia . </P>
