Subsistence farming can be found throughout all of Mexico. However, incidences of this are less common in northern Mexico, due to two factors:
- Northern Mexico is dominated by the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, so agriculture is less important than other economic activities; as subsistence farming depends on rain and little to no fertilizers, it cannot be done efficiently on such climate.
- Most agriculture in northern Mexico follows the agribusiness economic model, so most farms are owned or leased to agribusiness corporations and are dedicated to "cash crops", such as cotton, citric fruits and wheat.
