Question

Which among the following is the disadvantage of subsistence agriculture?

• A. The farmers have to share their land for such a type of agricultural practice.
  
• B. Lots of fertilizers are used.
  
• C. The full potential of the land under cultivation is not harnessed.
  
• D. People are not fed well.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C The full potential of the land under cultivation is not harnessed.


Under subsistence agricultural practice, the farmers are only focussed on growing crops to the extent such that their families are fed well and they do not focus on trading of crops. Under such conditions, the full potential of land under cultivation is not harnessed and it is a loss to the farmers.
