Answer: Livestock grazing
Notes: Ranching is the practice of raising livestock on large tracts of land. Ranchers typically raise grazing animals such as cattle and sheep, but some also raise bison, elk, emus, ostriches, and alpacas. Ranches are usually found in parts of the grasslands where rainfall is low and food crops do not grow very well. Ranching is the dominant land use in much of the American West. Ranching can be highly profitable. The ranching and livestock industry is growing faster than any other agricultural sector in the world. In Africa, most ranches are wildlife ranches. Wildlife ranches, also known as game ranches, maintain healthy populations of species such as rhinoceros, elephant, leopard, and antelope. People pay a fee to hunt these animals on the ranch. Wildlife ranches also appeal to ecotourists.
