      Why is subsistence agriculture still practiced in certain parts of the country? Give three reasons.

    Answer:

                      Reasons for still practising subsistence agriculture are (i) Plots of land are fragmented and small, so, not commercially viable. (ii) High population pressure on land makes this compulsory. (iii) "Slash and burn" agriculture is the primitive subsistence   farming   practised   by   certain communities because they do not have the resources to go in for investment in better inputs like fertilisers, irrigation, etc.
