Answer

There is a predominance of food crops in intensive subsistence farming because this type of farming aims to produce enough food for family consumption, not for the market. Since the landholding is small and the population is high in regions where it is practiced (like in parts of Asia), farmers focus on growing food crops such as rice, wheat, and pulses to ensure food security for themselves rather than growing cash crops for sale.
