Subsistence Agriculture
In Class 12 Geography, Subsistence Agriculture is studied under Primary Activities as farming mainly intended to meet the food needs of the farmer and family rather than produce a large market surplus. Students learn how small landholdings, family labour, limited capital, traditional tools, population pressure, climate and soil influence this form of agriculture. The topic also helps distinguish intensive subsistence farming from shifting cultivation and understand its role in rural livelihoods and regional economies.
