Subsistence farming
In addition to the Amish, various indigenous communities around the world utilize tradition-based economic systems. For example, the Inuit in Canada and Alaska rely on subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering, passing down knowledge and practices through generations. Similarly, some rural farming communities in Africa and Asia engage in barter and rely on local customs for trade and resource management, emphasizing sustainability and communal support.

It is a free market and Brazil has the 6th largest GDP in the world.
In the 1940s, Mexico's traditional economy was primarily agrarian, relying heavily on agriculture, with many people engaged in subsistence farming. The country produced crops such as corn, beans, and sugarcane, while livestock farming also played a significant role. Additionally, the economy was characterized by a mix of small-scale artisanal production and limited industrial activity, particularly in urban areas. Post-World War II, Mexico began to experience industrialization, gradually shifting its economic structure.
Subsistence farming
Subsistence farming is primarily practiced in developing regions of the world, such as parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It is commonly found in rural areas where people farm to produce enough food to feed themselves and their families.
Hunting, Forestry, and Subsistence Farming are the main economic land usage in northern Canada and most of Alaska.References: Wiggers, Cindy. Trail Guide to World Geography. Nancy, KY: Geography Matters, 2002. Print.
Subsistence farming is commonly practiced on many islands around the world, including Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. These communities rely on farming for their daily food needs and often cultivate a variety of crops and raise livestock for sustenance.
Heavy industrialization and urbanization replacing subsistence farming and forest habitat is commonly seen in developing regions such as parts of Asia, particularly in countries like China and India, as well as in parts of Africa and Latin America. These regions often experience rapid population growth and economic development, leading to the conversion of agricultural land and forests into industrial zones and urban areas.
Farming is the practice of cultivating crops or raising animals for food, fiber, or other products. Agriculture is the primary source of food for the world's population. Farming can vary widely in scale, from small subsistence farms to large commercial operations. Techniques such as crop rotation, irrigation, and use of fertilizers are commonly used in modern farming to improve productivity. Sustainable farming practices aim to minimize environmental impact and promote long-term viability of agricultural systems.

subsistence farming in less developed countries....i'm pretty sure
Subsistence farming, which today exists most commonly throughout areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of South and Central America, is an extension of primitive foraging practiced by early civilizations. Historically, most early farmers engaged in some form of subsistence farming to survive. Within early foraging communities, like hunter-gatherer societies, small communities consumed only what was hunted or gathered by members of the community. As the domestication of certain plants and animals evolved, a more advanced subsistence agricultural society developed in which communities practiced small-scale, low-intensity farming to produce an efficient amount of goods to meet the basic consumption needs of the community. Historically, successful subsistence farming systems often shared similar structural traits. These included equal access to land plots for community members as well as a minimum expenditure of agricultural labor to produce subsistence amounts of food. Over time, the loss of such freedoms forced many subsistence farmers to abandon their traditional ways. In early twentieth-century Kenya, a lack of land access due to the commercialization of certain farmland plots by British colonists forced Kenyan communities toward commercial farming. Consistent surpluses, like those experienced by nineteenth century South Africa and sixteenth century Japan, also encouraged commercialized production and allowed farmers to expend more amounts of agricultural labor on certain produce goods that were strictly intended for trade. Though forms of subsistence farming are believed to have been practiced by most early civilizations worldwide, over time, as population densities rose and intensive farming methods developed, the movement toward commercial farming and industrialization became more prominent. For countries like Botswana, Bolivia, Rwanda,Sierra Leone, Zambia, Mexico, and Vietnam, however, subsistence farming continues to be a way of life far into the twenty-first century.

Unbelievably, the percentage of the world's population being uneducated, is 46 percent. *Considering that most of the world's population is still involved in farming and other subsistence activities, in villages or smaller social units, the figure of 46 percent is not credible.
