What to Focus On

  • Economic activities generate income.
  • Primary activities depend directly on environment.
  • They include hunting, gathering, pastoralism, fishing, forestry, agriculture, and mining.

  • Hunting and gathering are the oldest economic activities.
  • Early hunting was limited by primitive tools.
  • Gathering needs low capital and low technology.

  • Pastoralism means rearing animals for multiple human needs.
  • Nomadic herding is a primitive subsistence activity.
  • Transhumance is seasonal plains-to-mountains and back movement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Primary activities are the same as agriculture.

People engaged in primary activities are called red-collar workers because they work in industry.

Gathering is a modern commercial activity with high output and large profits.
