Why can the mixed livelihood of Raikas be considered a wise strategy in a dry region?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because cultivation and herding spread risk

Rainfall in dry regions is uncertain, so dependence on cultivation alone can be risky when crops fail. The Raikas combined cultivation with herding; if one source of food or income was affected, the other could provide support. Thus, combining farming and herding was a sensible way to spread risk. It did not remove the need for pastures, since livestock still required grazing land. Exam tip: link mixed livelihoods in dry areas with uncertain rainfall and risk sharing.
