Paper 2 · Farming Systems
The figure shows challenges facing resettled farmers under the national agriculture support programme. Which service provider is matched with the right challenge?
AArex, with the loss of woodland to deforestation around the settlement
BAgribank, with the lack of funds to buy inputs at the start of a season
CCampfire, with the increase in tick borne diseases in the cattle herd
DVeterinary services, with the low prices being paid for the cereal crop
Explanation: Agribank is the agricultural bank, so it answers the shortage of capital by lending for seed, fertiliser and equipment. Tick borne diseases go to the veterinary services, weed control advice to Arex as the extension service, and deforestation to Campfire, which handles natural resources with the community.
