Detailed Solution

Primitive subsistence agriculture is the farming usually done by rural people by clearing a patch of land. In this kind of agriculture, primitive tools like hoe, dao, and digging sticks are used for farming. This kind of agriculture is also known as slash and burn agriculture because farmers used to clear a patch of land and do farming. As soon as the land starts to decrease its fertility, they again shift to a new land by leaving the previous one for two or three years for the soil to retain its fertility. This kind of farming is used to fulfil the needs of a family only; this agriculture is not done to sell goods in the market as capital, and the land is less.
