  1. Intensive farming or intensive agriculture is an agricultural production system characterized by the high inputs of capital, fertilizers, labor, or labor-saving technologies such as pesticides relative to land area. This is in contrast to the concept of Extensive Agriculture which involves a low input of materials and labor with the crop yield depending largely on the naturally available soil fertility, water supply or other land qualities.
