What are the charateristics os Substance agriculture?

Answer 1

Hello,

I think you are asking about the characteristics of subsistence agriculture.

Subsistence agriculture is the kind of agriculture practiced most widely around the world, especially in the less developed economies of Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Foods and other goods and services are produced by a family for its own consumption. Subsistence agriculture is usually very small-scale and uses a low level of technology. It often requires a very intensive use of small plots of land to support a dense population. What a family raises is what it has available to eat. Because there is little surplus, there is very little trade.

Also, see the sites listed in the 'source' section, for further detail.
