Subsistence throughout the region was based primarily on fishing and horticulture, with fishing somewhat more important in the low islands and horticulture more important in the high islands.
As noted above, studies in southeastern Cameroon have indicated that sufficient wild yams were available for hunter-gatherer subsistence throughout the year (Sato 2001, 2006; Yasuoka 2006a, 2012; Sato et al. 2012), and the results presented here conclusively show that the activities hunter-gatherers themselves generate this sufficiency.
Our study confirmed that shifting cultivation is still being used to produce subsistence rice throughout the region, but there is a trend of intensification away from shifting cultivation towards permanent rice production, especially near protected areas.
For instance, today there are thousands of members of the simple living movement voluntarily "subsistence living" throughout the U.S. but especially in the West.
But the vice premier overseeing agriculture will also need to ensure that the central government treads carefully, encouraging the transfer of land and the creation of advanced agribusinesses while addressing a widening urban-rural wage gap and protecting the interests of millions of small, subsistence farmers throughout the country.

Preindustrial agricultural peoples throughout the world have traditionally practiced subsistence farming.
The transformation of pastoral nomads into petty commodity or capitalist producers, and of subsistence pastoral production into commodity production, has been occurring throughout Africa to various degrees and at various scales with increasing integration of camel milk and meat markets at regional and national scales (Herren [1992]; Nori et al. [2006]).
First, in our analysis, there is no spatial clustering of samples sharing a same subsistence mode (Figure S1): the populations are widely distributed throughout the world, making unlikely that the greater similarity in acetylation profiles between populations with a same subsistence strategy can arise from greater gene flow between them due to shorter geographic distances.
Whereas, throughout their history, tribal and camp leaders (re distributed subsistence goods and means of production in camels and organized the defense of camps, camels and territory; today, the Polisario provides and distributes aid and defends and controls the refugee camps and the liberated territories.
Although paleoenvironmental data suggest that the landscape of this region evolve gradually from mosaic of forest and open landscapes to diverse and densest forests, zooarchaeological analysis indicates a pattern of adaptive stability that persists throughout the Holocene, characterized by generalist strategies of subsistence focused mainly in forest resources.
