Question

Why was the term “indigenous agriculture” favoured over “subsistence agriculture” or “traditional agriculture”

Answer 1

Because 'indigenous agriculture' is a more specific term than the other two: it defines agriculture of people who have historically been living in this area with their traditions. Also, they started the agricultural activities for the needs of their families. Neither 'subsistence' nor 'traditional' combine these concepts in one term.
