INTENSIVE SUBSISTENCE
FARMING
Intensive farming poses several challenges, one of which is the issue of land
inheritance. As land is divided among successive generations, plot sizes
become smaller and economically unviable. Despite limited land availability,
farmers strive to maximize output due to the lack of alternative livelihood
options. This puts immense pressure on agricultural land.
