How can the relation between farming and pastoralism be explained through the example of Dhangars?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sheep manure benefited fields and pastoralists received exchange

Farming and pastoralism can support each other instead of being permanently opposed. Farmers need manure to improve soil, while pastoralists need places where their animals can graze. Pastoral groups may receive grain, money, or other goods in exchange for manure, animals, labour, or access to grazing. This creates a useful economic relationship between the two occupations.

Among the Dhangars, sheep were taken to agricultural fields after the harvest in some seasons. Their manure helped enrich the fields, and the farmers could provide food, payment, or other benefits to the herders. Thus option C correctly describes cooperation and exchange. The other choices wrongly claim that farming and pastoralism had no contact or that Dhangars were involved in an unrelated occupation.
