Subsistence agriculture.These are categorized methods and purposes of cultivation.
What is subsistence farming? And when did the farming began?
This was the first type of agriculture that was seen years ago even before civilization, this is where a farmer goes into agricultural activities only for the purpose of consumption none of the production is surplus or available to be sold.
Another name for subsistence farming is survival farming this method of farming was mostly seen among poor areas.
Example of a subsistence farm can be found in rural communities where most families cultivate small plots of land to grow staple crops like maize, millet, or cassava. These farms often consist of mixed cropping systems, where farmers grow multiple crops to enhance food security and survival purposes.
In what ways can we improve agriculture in our society?
Ways we can greatly improve agriculture in our society are as follows:
• soil improvement
• Efficient market
• irrigation facility
• pursue sustainable forestry
farmers, and other relevant stakeholders can solve low agricultural productivity in Nigeria if they improve fertiliser use, conduct regular soil fertility test, fertilisers improve farmers’ productivity. Unfortunately, the stunted growth in fertiliser use makes that improvement impossible. Hence, the poor agricultural productivity.
