    I wonder if would be a difference in how you'd express it between someone who actually works as a farmer and a person or community whose food is produced by farming (e.g. a farmer's family) or someone who lives off an income provided by farming (e.g. a landowner)? Maybe the question could clarify what is meant.

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
to live on (something) 
is an idiom.
It means:
to have or use (an amount of money) to pay for the things that one needs to live.
For example:
You can't live on this salary.
So the only possible way is to say: 'to live on farming'.

The layout for the ViewController (AlbumsViewController) looks like: The UItableView Scrolling functions from the delegate are implemented like that: func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) { let endReached = contentTableView.contentOffset.y >= (contentTableView.contentSize.height - contentTableView.frame.size.height) let isUP = lastContentOffset > scrollView.contentOffset.y if scrollView.contentOffset.y < 0 { headerHeightConstraint.constant += abs(scrollView.contentOffset.y) } else{ if !endReached{ ...
