Subsistence strategies refer to the methods and practices used by individuals and communities to obtain the resources needed for survival. This includes activities such as hunting, gathering, farming, fishing, and herding, as well as the processing and preparation of food and other resources. Subsistence strategies can vary greatly depending on factors such as environment, culture, and technological capabilities. Researchers in this area seek to understand the different ways in which people obtain and utilize resources for sustenance, and how these strategies have evolved over time. They also examine the social, economic, and environmental implications of different subsistence practices.
