Description
A bowl of rice offers nothing for the future.
Subsistence farms provide a basic agricultural income, and can help industry grow by providing food to the workers.
Relatively small-scale farming will feed the people adequately in most years, but it allows little excess to support a workforce away from the farm. Even in medieval-pattern societies, a reliable food surplus is necessary to support skilled craftsmen, and even warriors. If the surplus fails, then starvation and economic disaster soon follow, as craftsmen move to where they can find food. Peasants, being tied to the land rather than having marketable skills, do not have such an option.
Other Information
In the Campaign, every province has a Soil Quailty which determines the amount of wealth that is generated by farming. As such, any player that wants to strengthen their economy must take control of Provinces with rich soil and invest in upgrading their farms as soon as possible. Provinces with poor soil should only be upgraded if you have plenty of extra gold and need the small bit of extra income to expand and sustain your armies.
