Subsistence agriculture refers to agricultural system whereby farmers only grow food crops to meet the needs of themselves and their families. In subsistence agriculture as opposed to agriculture on the commercial level, farm output is only dine for the purpose of survival/food and there is hardly any surplus so itvus not done for profit like in commercial farming

Answer:

1. The family produces only enough food from its garden to live on.

Explanation:

Agriculture could be practiced on a subsistence or commercial scale. Subsistence agriculture is the type of agriculture practiced when the farmer wants to produce just enough output ( in this case, crops and livestock) for his family. Commercial Agriculture is agriculture practiced on a large scale and sold to make profit.

So, the family that produces only enough food from its garden to live on is practicing subsistence agriculture. The family barely makes profit from this type of agriculture.
