Subsistence Farmers in Africa - Is There Any Truth to That?

I imagine that the situation in thats to say, africa, where you have much smaller farmers, much more of a subsistence way of life. And there, i could imagine that the constraints are really binding. The constraints are hunger and poverty. And you could really imagine that the practices could be really short sighted because of the constrained budget. Yet, at some level, i think this is the reality for most poor farmers anywhere in the world. But generally speaking, i think the case in africa is a little different,. Because we're dealing with soils that have been cultivated for the longest time than anywhere else in the world; they've been harvested for so long and mined for so long
