Intro to Botany
Subsistence farming is a type of agriculture where farmers grow food primarily for their own consumption rather than for sale in the market. This practice often involves small plots of land, traditional methods, and a focus on producing enough food to meet the family's needs, with little to no surplus for trade. It is closely linked to plant domestication and agriculture as it represents one of the earliest forms of food production, relying heavily on cultivated crops.
