Question

Give information about intensive farming.

Answer 1

Getting maximum production from a minimum area is the characteristic of intensive farming. 

• Due to large population or limited availability of land, per head holding is small.
• This type of farming is mostly seen in developing regions.
• Farm production is sufficient only for the requirement of the family.
• In this type of farming, the cultivator and his family are totally dependent on farming. As farm production is low, the economic condition of the cultivator is also poor.

• In this type of farming, mostly animate energy is used.

• Besides the cereals, vegetables are also grown to some extent.
