World History – Before 1500
Subsistence farming is a type of agriculture where farmers grow enough food to feed themselves and their families, with little to no surplus for trade or sale. This farming practice is often characterized by small-scale plots, traditional techniques, and a focus on local crops that are well-suited to the environment. This approach to agriculture was pivotal during the emergence of farming and greatly influenced the migrations of communities, such as the Bantu.
