What's the difference between subsistence agriculture and market-orientated agriculture?

Subsistence agriculture is a farmer producing enough food to feed himself and his family, and rarely has enough extra produce to sell or barter. You can find subsistence agriculture almost anywhere, but far more common in underdeveloped countries such as many countries in Africa. Market oriented agriculture is any agriculture where produce is grown for sale. Market orientated, as well can be found almost anywhere, but is predominate in countries like the US, Canada, and much of Europe.

Subsistence agriculture is aimed at feeding just the farming family or community. Market-orientated agriculture is geared to producing products for sale.

subsistence agriculture is where your family grows enough crops and raises enough animals to feed your family, it is very common in third world countries marked-oriented agriculture is just as the name says. you grow crops and raise animals with the intent of selling them at the market for profit, it is more common in the larger, more wealty countries

All of the previous answers are correct. The two can be seen as somewhat of a secession from hunter/gatherer societies to subsistence agriculture to market-oriented agriculture as a country develops. However, here in the U.S. some farms are going back to a way of operating that more closely resembles subsistence farming event though they may sell some extra to others.
