Subsistence agriculture refers to farming practices that are carried out primarily to produce food for the farmer's own consumption and that of their family, rather than for sale in markets or for export. In other words, it is farming for household consumption. The goal is to produce enough food to sustain the farmer and their family, with little or no surplus to sell. This type of farming is often found in rural areas of developing countries where farmers have limited resources and rely on traditional and labor-intensive methods to grow crops and raise livestock.
