I know there's some symmetry involved and some asymmetry from the development of a nation

Obviously most LDCs don't focus on the land as much as the food, so it's 50 degrees N that gets the mixed crops. They'd be practicing ranching or grain farming or something due to arid climate.

Pastoral nomadism against the Equator. Obviously unsuitable for cultivation of plant crops. Livestock ranching tends to be close. Both are with dry climates

Grain farming in the mid-latitudes either way

Certain types of agricultural practices, like commercial gardening, need a lot of water. I think horticulture needs a lot of water and plentiful sunshine in general, which is why the Mediterranean type is always closer to large bodies of water.

Same goes with wet rice intensive, they need good water. They're located near large rivers, like the Yangtze (Chang Jiang), Ganges, etc. China and India have good rivers hehe. Nearby those places are intensive subsistence places for grains

Most plantations are along the Equator. We didn't go in depth for what they grow. Do they still grow cotton???

Shifting cultivation is very dominant along the Equator and LDCs in general oof. Other than the Middle East, ofc.
