Subsistence agriculture is a farming system where farmers grow enough food to meet the needs of their families, with little or no surplus for sale. This type of agriculture is often practiced in rural areas, where communities rely on local resources and traditional farming methods. Crops typically include staples like rice, corn, and vegetables, which are essential for daily consumption. Farmers engaged in subsistence agriculture often use simple tools and techniques, such as hand planting and manual harvesting. This approach helps maintain local food security but can limit economic growth and access to modern agricultural practices.
