Subsistence farming is when farmers make only enough crops for themselves and family. They come across different problems to commercial farmers, for instance a rise in the price of fuel would not affect them, they would come across problems like droughts and being sick for a few days etc.
Subsistence farming is a small farm usually 1-3 acres of land.These farms have simple tools, (example) hoes, machete and digging stick.The work done in a subsistence farm is done by the farmer and his family and the produce is eaten by the farmer and his family.
