AP Human Geo (APHuG) LoFi Unit 5: Subsistence Agriculture

Subsistence farming feeds the family

Production for local necessity

Small farms using human labor

Traditional practices help sustain

Intensive farming grows rice and grain

High-yield harvest from small terrain

Wet rice agriculture spreads

Across monsoon regions instead

Subsistence agriculture remains

Feeding families across terrains

Small farms growing what they need

Local harvest, local feed

Shifting cultivation clears tropical land

Slash-and-burn farming expands

Fields cultivated for a short time

Then farmers move along the line

Pastoral nomads herd livestock

Across dry climates they unlock

Geographers study these ways

Where subsistence farming stays
