Subsistence farmers in developing nations are individuals or families who primarily grow crops and raise livestock to meet their own food needs, rather than for sale in the market. They typically rely on traditional farming methods and local resources, facing challenges such as limited access to technology, markets, and financial services. Their livelihoods are often vulnerable to environmental changes, economic fluctuations, and political instability, making food security a significant concern. These farmers play a crucial role in local economies and food systems, despite the hardships they face.

The soil of New England wasn't very fertile so farmers practiced subsistence farming so they could survive.
Subsistence farmers are frequently located in higher poverty areas in the developing or undeveloped world. As such, they cannot afford or cannot obtain higher quality seeds and fertilizers that would enable them to achieve higher yields.
