Subsistence farming is a form of farming in which farmers cultivate crops for their own family and sustenance. Not only crops but subsistence farming also includes raising livestock.

India is considered to be an agricultural-based country, and the people of India are proud of it. Agriculture, along with livestock farming, cattle raising, dairy, and other agriculture subsidiaries is the largest source of livelihood in India. Most of the farming activities are carried out in rural areas, one can assume the financial status of the farmers, but out of the total farmer population, 82 percent are small and marginal farmers. This shows why it is the need of the hour to increase crop production and crop quality. Apart from Agriculture, the fishing industry is also a huge contributor to the Indian economy.
