Traditional Agriculture is different than commercial farming because commercial farming is done to make a large profit and is usually not used by the people growing the plants. Commercial farming is usually done by a crew of people who work for an hourly pay, where as Agricultural farming is usually done by one person and their family and is done for themselves. They also use traditional agriculture to make a small profit but nothing large as they usually have to sell it themselves. Therefore traditional agriculture is not as large as commercial farming.
Brazil has a majority of Subsistence farming (owned by a family or small amount of people), but that is not to say that it doesn't have Commercial Farms. When we judge whether a country is commercial or subsistence, we judge the majority of the farming. Brazil's farming is Subsistence.

Farming can help the economy by providing jobs. Some farms are labor intensive and they are in need of plenty of manual laborers and you don't have to be a professional or have to have a degree to qualify for this job. Farming provides raw materials that can be exported which would generate income. When we send these items to other people, we receive money. Farming would also help our economy by us having fewer things to import because when we import we have to pay money of freight, gas, shipping etc. By us having fewer things to import we can save lots of money. Another contribution farming can make to our economy is by us not having to depend on tourism heavily anymore because we have farming.
