English

Subject field(s)
  • Farming Techniques
  • Farm Management and Policy
DEF

In agricultural economics, [a] system of crop cultivation using small amounts of labour and capital in relation to area of land being farmed.

CONT

Extensive agriculture is distinguished from intensive agriculture in that the latter, employing large amounts of labour and capital, enables one to apply fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides and to plant, cultivate, and often harvest mechanically. Because extensive agriculture produces a lower yield per unit of land, its use commercially requires large quantities of land in order to be profitable.
