Farming is affected by both physical factors like relief, climate, and soil type as well as human factors such as market type and distance, transportation networks, technology, labor costs, and government subsidies. Physical factors include mountainous terrain tending to be colder, varying rainfall and temperatures affecting growth, and differing soil fertility. Human factors incorporate the scope of the market, transportation infrastructure, technological intensity, labor expenses, and political support through subsidies.
