Subsistence Farming
Subsistence farming is used as a primary way for a family or a community to have food served on their table, the whole year round. It is when, they just plant and cultivate crops for their own consumption based on their own calculation of the needed produce for the whole month or year. Farmers make sure that they have enough to last their family and no profit is intended for this.
Intensive Farming
Intensive farming is for mass production of crops that can supply enough for a whole lot of consumers. It utilizes large land area with big investments on using labor, fertilizers and pesticides. The main reason for this type of farming is to gain profit. Since it is used for commercial production, this makes use of the latest machinery and technology to further enhance its output.

Answer:
Subsistence farming is growing foodfor your own and your family's direct consumption. Like a backyard vegetable garden, but with fruit, starch crops, and animals as well. Intensiveagriculture is anything that really works the land hard. The inputs cost money, so it is generally only done forprofit.
