At the end of World War II, Ontario, and specifically the Toronto metro area experienced tremendous growth. Tens of thousands of immigrants from Europe flooded in to begin a new life, and with that expanded and experienced workforce, industrial manufacturing and retail commerce grew exponentially.
Animal husbandry. Animal husbandry is the management and care of farm animals by human beings, in which genetic qualities and behavior, considered to be advantageous to humans, are further developed. The term can refer to the practice of selectively breeding and raising livestock to promote desirable traits in animals for utility, sport, pleasure, or research.
Horticulture is small scale, low intensity farming. This subsistence pattern involves at least part time planting and tending of domesticated food plants. Pigs, chickens, or other relatively small domesticated animals are often raised for food and prestige. Many horticultural societies supplement their farming subsistence base with occasional hunting and gathering of wild plants and animals. Horticulturalist population densities are higher than those of most foragers and pastoralists.
