摘要

Subsistence fanning is a form of production in which nearly all crops or livestock are raised to sustain the farm family, and rarely producing surpluses to sell for cash or store for later use. There are two major types of subsistence agriculture: primitive and intensive. Primitive subsistence farming, which includes shifting cultivation, slash and burn, and pastoral nomadic farming is mainly practiced in marginal areas. In contrast, intensive subsistence agriculture, which is the subject of this paper, is practiced in high potential arable land where laad is scarce and the farmers have to maximize food production on relatively small fields. This type of farming exhibits a high degree of diversification (mixed crop-livestock systems), inter-croppingand limited use of modern technologies and purchased agricultural inputs. Intensive subsistence agriculture is widespread in many less developed countries where over 80% of their rural population is engaged in this type of farming. Intensive subsistenceagriculture contributes substantially to economies of these countries and in alleviating food insecurity. It has high potential for increased growth if given the necessarily support. Despite this high dependence on subsistence agriculture, the farmers are faced with several challenges which unless addressed will continue to drag behind the economic development of these countries. This paper not only reviews the characteristics and impacts of intensive subsistence agriculture but also the challenges andpossible interventions to these challenges.
