Subsistence agriculture refers to farming practices that are primarily conducted to provide food and resources for the direct sustenance of the farming household, with little or no emphasis on producing a surplus for commercial market exchange. These methods often involve the utilization of traditional knowledge, locally available seeds, and simple tools, adapting techniques to the immediate ecological constraints of the operational area. The goal of this type of cultivation is to maintain food security at the family unit level, ensuring basic nutritional needs are met and that the community can sustain itself without reliance on external commercial supply chains.
