Answer the following question in one or two paragraphs
Briefly explain subsistence agriculture.
उत्तर
Subsistence farming is practised by farmers who own small pieces of land. Such farmers grow just enough crops to meet their needs and those of their families. They generally grow rice or vegetables and use organic or natural fertilizers such as cow dung, animal droppings, and dead and dried plants. They depend on the monsoon rains for water for the crops.
