1. The family produces only enough food from its garden to live on

Explanation:

Subsistence agriculture refers to agricultural system whereby farmers only grow food crops to meet the needs of themselves and their families. In subsistence agriculture as opposed to agriculture on the commercial level, farm output is only dine for the purpose of survival/food and there is hardly any surplus so itvus not done for profit like in commercial farming
