From a livelihood perspective, what is the main difference between subsistence and commercial farming?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In subsistence farming, production is mainly for family needs, whereas commercial farming is mainly for sale in the market

The main purpose of subsistence farming is to meet the food and other day-to-day needs of the farmer’s family. In commercial farming, production is mainly intended for market sale and income generation. Option B is an incorrect overgeneralisation about irrigation, because either type of farming may be practised on irrigated or rain-fed land. Exam tip: identify the purpose of production—self-consumption or market sale.
