In subsistence agriculture, farming is grown for consumption by the farmer.
In commercial agriculture, the primary objective is to make a profit.

Subsistence agriculture is the production of food primarily for consumption by the farmer and mostly found in less developed countries. Commercial agriculture is when farmers grow food for a profit.
