It's not fun. You depend on the food from your land to eat, so you can't afford to experiment with new methods of doing anything, or grow "cash crops" that you can't directly eat. If the rains fail, you starve. If there's a locust swarm, you starve. If your plow oxen dies, and you can't get another one, you starve.
Sorry, I know what it is. The comment I was replying to wrote "sustenance farming". I wasn't sure if this was a term where they lived, autocorrect or a mistake.
