Most farmers don’t. They sell their livestock and crops, and buy food at the supermarket like anyone else.

In developing nations, you often have subsistence farmers who live primarily off what they grow. They survive by working their asses of and knowing there is no plan B, they either grow enough food or go hungry. Many don’t survive, and either die or migrate elsewhere. The ones left over are those were are on good enough land and who worked hard enough and smart enough.
