subsistence agriculture
Subsistence agriculture is a traditional farming practice where farmers grow crops and raise livestock primarily to meet the needs of their own families. Unlike commercial farming, the focus is on sustenance rather than profit. This method typically involves small-scale, diverse cultivation and minimal use of technology. Subsistence farmers often rely on traditional farming techniques passed down through generations. While this approach provides food security for the family, it may lack the efficiency and surplus production associated with modern agricultural practices. Subsistence farming plays a crucial role in rural communities, preserving local traditions and contributing to the resilience of small-scale agricultural systems. However, challenges such as limited access to resources and vulnerability to climate change underscore the need for sustainable development in subsistence agriculture.
