Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  rkillings: Stick with 'agrarian'. The pastoral people may not be farming people, and vice versa.
2 hrs
  -> What prompted "pastoral?" Pastoral activities and agrarian societies are two different animals; raising poultry is animal husbandry but not pastoralism

agree  Francis Marche: cultures vivrières is "subsistence farming" (vs. "cultures de rente" for cash crops) see FAOTERM at http://www.fao.org/faoterm/search/start.do. // Food crop production can be for exports, whilst cultures vivrières cannot.
19 hrs
  -> I agree totally - "cultures vivrières" = subsistence crops OR food crops: see Systèmes agraires Systèmes de production, vocab. fr/angl, by Laurence de Bonneval (INRA) - the choice will depend on the context in this specific text.
