Formerly referring to there being an adequately-abundant supply of wild food and clean water in a certain area that a human could survive there for extended periods, it nowadays is often a "grim grinds" reference to how wasteful the population in a given area is as a whole, and that a good scrounger could literally find enough edibles and other basic essentials in the neighborhood's dumpsters and waste-piles to sustain himself quite comfortably.
Visiting dude, accompanying his buddy to help scavenge for discarded returnables in a shopping-mall complex: Zheesh, Dude --- look at all these still-perfectly-edible half-eaten sandwiches and pizza-slices just tossed out in da trash-bins! There's enough here to feed an army!
Local dude who's showing his friend around: Ooooh, yeah --- fer sher, Pal! We are a VERY wasteful society --- feller could live off the land around here, 'specially in da summertime when all da tourists are flocking though!

Literally, a low life that is able bodied, yet lives off government assistance. I.E. Welfare, WIC, Food Stamps etc. etc.
In the film Forrest Gump, Forrest asks Lt. Dan what he's doing now when he sees him for the first time after they arrive home. Lt. Dan, who has lost both legs and is confined to a wheelchair, states, "Living off the government tit."
The phrase is a reference to Lt. Dan's receiving a monthly stipen for the loss of his lower limbs.
In recent years, the term has a negative connotation and is often used to describe healthy welfare recipients that are able to work but choose not to because they are satisfied with their welfare checks for doing nothing.

The people living off the government tit are the largest voter pool for the democratic party.
Living off the government tit is free ride for people who realize government cheese is preferable to gainful employment.
