• Subsistence farming has always been done by preindustrial agricultural peoples all throughout the world.
• As the soil at each area was depleted, some of these individuals relocated from site to site.
• Farmers produced a large excess of particular products, which they traded for manufactured items or sold for cash, as urban centers increased, agricultural output became more specialized and commercial farming emerged.
• Subsistence farming is still practised on a vast scale in many regions of the world today, including much of Sub-Saharan Africa.
• Subsistence farms are often small, with only a few acres of land and low-yielding farming technologies.
