Subsistence Farming

Subsistence farming is an agricultural practice where farmers grow food primarily to feed themselves and their families, rather than for commercial sale. This type of farming is typically characterized by small plots of land, traditional farming methods, and minimal use of modern technology. The primary goal is to achieve self-sufficiency, ensuring a stable food supply year-round. While it fosters food security on a household level, subsistence farming often limits economic growth and development due to its low productivity and lack of market integration.
