Solution

Subsistence farming is a type of agriculture where farmers produce crops mainly for their own consumption rather than for sale. It typically involves small and scattered landholdings, traditional farming methods, low use of fertilizers and modern technology, and yields low productivity. Most of the food produced is consumed by the farmer and their family with little or no surplus for the market.
