Subsistence Farming Towards Sustainable Economic Agriculture of Small Farmers in the Developing Countries

Abstract

Subsistence farming is self-sustaining farming, in which farmers focus on growing foods that are sufficient for them to feed themselves and their families. A regular subsistence farm includes a set of crops and animals the family needs to feed itself during the year. The decisions of agriculture are taken into account what the family will need during the next year in the first place, then market prices in the second place. " Tony Waters 2007"
