Hunting and Gathering.

Explanation:

Although this system is rarely used today, it was the most successful in human history, covering at least 90% of our history. It consists of an individual or community that depends exclusively on the product of the land to survive, taking their food from shrubs, plants, trees, etc.

The few communities that still practice it are small and isolated in remote regions in South America, Asia, and North America. They live in small communities of 40 or 50 people, they live in equality, since they do not have leaders, they make group decisions, all their members have the right to food, regardless of the ability they have to get it and maintain peaceful and friendly relations with nearby communities.
