What is Subsistence Agriculture
When farmers cultivate crops on smallholdings in order to meet the requirements of themselves and their family, this type of agriculture is known as subsistence agriculture. A farm's output is the primary focus of subsistence farmers, who do so for the purpose of surviving and satisfying mostly local needs. When it comes to planting, decisions are made primarily with the consideration of what the family will require over the course of the following year, with market prices being a secondary consideration. Tony Waters, a professor of sociology, provides the following definition of the term “subsistence peasants”: “people who grow what they eat, build their own houses, and live without regularly making purchases in the marketplace.”
