subsistence agriculture, which is producing enough food to meet the needs of the farmer/agriculturalist and family (but no more)
There is earlier evidence: for example grains of rye with domestic traits have been recovered from Epi-Palaeolithic contexts at Abu Hureyra in Syria, but this appears to be a localised phenomenon resulting from cultivation of stands of wild rye, rather than a definitive step towards domestication.
Higher yields are due to improvements in genetics, as well as use of intensive farming techniques (use of fertilizers, chemical pest control, growth control to avoid lodging).

This is why agriculturalists have innovated techniques of protecting their food from wild animals in a "program" that led Daniel Quinn to invent the term "totalitarian agriculture" for this adaptive strategy.
These specialists are then able to dabble in things maladapted to their subsistence strategy, such as believing themselves to be part of the natural world, as foragers do.
