	Subsistence farming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Subsistence farming is a mode of agriculture in which a plot of land produces only enough food to feed the family working it.
		Subsistence farming, by definition, produces only enough food to sustain the farmers through their normal daily activities.
		Because surpluses are rare, subsistence farming does not allow for growth, the accumulation of capital or even for much specialization of labor.

		That general allowance for subsistence is narrowed by "customary and traditional" use determinations, which limit subsistence uses of fish stocks or game populations in a particular location to a specific subgroup of rural residents.

		Leaving unanswered the question of who the subsistence users were (e.g., Natives, rural residents, or any other defined class of citizens), the statute laid down the principle that subsistence uses have priority over other consumptive uses (commercial, sport, etc.) at any time of reduced human takings.
		In 1986, the Legislature amended its subsistence statute to limit the definition of "subsistence uses" to residents of "rural areas," thereby complying with Title VIII.

	Market-driven subsistence farms -DAWN - Business; 31 January, 2005
		Moving from subsistence to market-driven farming often requires changes in crop selection, cultivation, harvesting, marketing, transportation, and adoption of new technologies.
		Economists argue that one obstacle to agricultural development is that subsistence farmers can not convert their work into capital which can be used to adopt new technology and trigger marketable surplus.
		They argue that these obstacles exist often because subsistence farmers do not have clear title to the land which they work and to the crops which they produce.
