My suggestions stem from my own curiosity and background in agriculture: if the farmers aren't growing for themselves, how does that change the selection of crops that they grow? If this is called subsistence agriculture because the money supports the farmers, how is that different from any kind of farming in which the harvest enters a market? In other words, what makes this location unique, if anything? When did this location make the switch from subsistence agriculture to toxic subsistence agriculture? What events precipitated the transition? Is this livelihood precarious? Is there "upward mobility"? Do farms pass from one generation to another? Are there intergenerational disagreements in production methodology? What is/are the possible future/s of farming in this area?
