Is primitive subsistence farming soil friendly?

Generally such activity need not negatively impact soil, but you can have subsistence for large numbers, and such agriculture could indeed have a negative impact on sols if proper management practices are not applied. That would be the case even for small activities. You can't grow nutrition-intensive crops on the same ground forever, even if it is supporting just one family. You either need to let it lie fallow, fertilize it, or some other enhancement. And lying fallow may not always be an option for subsistence.
