Comparison to the US:
In Botswana they partake in more subsistence agriculture than commercial like the US does. This is because they need ways to provide foods for their families, because they do not have the mean to do so like we do here. Compared to the US, Botswana uses many hand tool and animals to assist in the production of crop. In the United States we have large machines and irrigation system to increase agricultural production. Lastly, Botswana is alike to the United States because they both do cattle ranching in the United States and it is a large export.
