Subsistence farming

For the subsistence farming and residential housing scenarios, the only significant pathway for the nine organic compounds of concern would be that from soli via vegetable consumption. The SPPPLV (and also, In this case, the PPLV) would be ... 

Results for the five scenarios examined in detail are shown in Table IV. It may be seen that subsistence farming and residential housing entail the most restrictive PPLVs at the Alabama AAP site. 

Moreover, it might also be possible to hypothesize a form of alchemical practice related to a family-run business, not as profit-making, but perhaps as a form of resistance to primitive accumulation, understood as the (ruthless) movement to force workers into factories and wage-earning trades, leaving behind barter systems, cottage industries, or subsistence farming. Alchemy could, in this utopian fiction, be carried out in the commons, as... 

Production, market Demand for family and relatives Barter trade (mainly subsistence farming) Export crops (coffee, tea, pyrethrum most crops grown for subsistence such as maize also gets there way into the market) Export of tea dominates but coffee and pyrethrum experience a marked decline due to changes of market forces. Production of maize for market is increased. Increased horticultural production is also realized Export crops Export of tea still dominates but coffee and pyrethrum start picking up at a slow pace. Production of maize and other horticultural crops for market is increased... 

The two Mayan cultures that are compared in this paper share many cultural features. The two languages are genetically closely related. The main livelihood of the two groups is slash-and burn subsistence farming. They both live in small communities and have similar material cultures. 

This revolution transformed American life in virtually every way. America came into the war a collection of mral states primarily supported by subsistence farming, which was a speculative trade in staple crops. Towns, villages, and hamlets were inhabited by a comparatively small cadre of professional elites and cottage industry artisans. Compared with European society, America was small and widely diffused. The America that survived the war found itself a nation well on its way to becoming one of the mightiest industrial powers on earth, but it was a distinctly regional development. 

The vast majority of the Tanzanian rural population was, in terms of legibility and appropriation, outside the reach of the state. At independence, an estimated 11 out of 12 million rural dwellers lived scattered across the landscape. With the exception of densely settled areas in the cool, wet highlands where substantial amounts of coffee and tea were grown and marketed, much of the population practiced subsistence farming or pastoralism. Much of what they did sell was offered at local markets largely outside the ambit of state supervision and taxation. The objective of colonial agricultural policy and also of the inde-... 

One real patient brings all these factors together. A middle-aged man in Nepal has had a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis for about four years. He supports his family by subsistence farming. There are no telephones, and he walks about 10 miles for an unscheduled clinic appointment when his breathlessness interferes too much with his work. At each clinic appointment his pleural effusions are drained (thus improving his breathlessness, which he appreciates), and a small supply of antibiotics is prescribed, probably with little effect (at best) because he cannot afford to pay for the prescriptions that he has been given, even if rifampicin is in stock locally. He cannot be admitted to hospital for more intensive treatment he has no adult children to help him in the fields, and his family would starve. How can the practice of pharmaceutical medicine adapt to this sort of environment ... 

Subsistence farming is the principal agricultural practice internationally, especially in the developing countries. Unlike the large U.S. operations, subsistence farms are small in scale and low in capital investments, requiring intensive labor of the approximately one billion farmers who operate them. About 40% of the world s farmers have fewer than 11 acres (4.5 ha) of land 35% have fewer than 2.5 acres (7 ha). These farms feed a majority of the world population. To provide effective technical assistance to these farmers, scientists must understand the problems of small-scale agriculture.

A simple case study of a development project introducing podcasting devices in a rural area in Zimbabwe can illustrate this basic idea. The livelihoods of people in this area mainly depend on subsistence farming. The podcasts recorded and distributed were mainly about cattle management, and meant as a supplementation of traditional agricultural extension services. It concerned a project executed by...
