Pastoral farming involves rearing livestock, such as cattle, sheep, and goats, for meat, milk, and other products, while arable farming focuses on cultivating crops like grains, fruits, and vegetables. Pastoral farming is more common in areas with limited arable land or unfavorable growing conditions, while arable farming requires fertile soil and suitable climate for crop production. Profit margins may vary between the two types of farming depending on factors such as market demand, input costs, and land availability.
