True

Horticulture is small scale, low intensity farming.  This subsistence pattern involves at least part time planting and tending of domesticated food plants.  Pigs, chickens, or other relatively small domesticated animals are often raised for food and prestige.  Many horticultural societies supplement their farming subsistence base with occasional hunting and gathering of wild plants and animals.  Horticulturalist population densities are higher than those of most foragers and pastoralists.  Usually, there are at least 1-10 people per square mile with community sizes ranging from around 30 to several hundred.  In most cases, horticulture is more productive than foraging (with the exception of aquatic foraging).  Some horticulturalists are not only subsistence farmers but also produce a small surplus to sell or exchange in local markets for things that they cannot produce themselves.
