ANSWER
(i) A farmer having 1 hectare of land for farming is called a subsistence farmer because 1 hectare of land is too less for even the sustenance of a small family.
(ii) Production is very low and it is very difficult for the farmer to provide for his family.
(iii) Apart from working in his own field, he has to work in the field of the rich farmers or work as a casual labourer to survive.
(iv) The small farmer has no irrigation facilities.
(v) He has no working capital so he is also not able to buy modern machinery, HYV seeds or insecticides, and pesticides.
