Question

four features of extensive farming​

Answer 1

Answer:

Low capital is investment;

Large pieces of land;

Low labour required;

Low levels of management;

Utilizes marginal area;

Low production per unit area

Extensive farming or extensive agriculture (as opposed to intensive farming) is an agricultural production system that uses small inputs of labor, fertilizers, and capital, relative to the land area being farmed.

Extensive farming most commonly refers to sheep and cattle farming in areas with low agricultural productivity, but can also refer to large-scale growing of wheat, barley, cooking oils and other grain crops in areas like the Murray-Darling Basin in Australia. Here, owing to the extreme age and poverty of the soils, yields per hectare are very low, but the flat terrain and very large farm sizes mean yields per unit of labour are high. Nomadic herding is an extreme example of extensive farming, where herders move their animals to use feed from occasional rainfalls.

Explanation:

Larger farm size:

Farm size in extensive farming are very large, often exceeding 250 hectares.

High per capita Production:

\Efforts are always made to maximize per capita production in lieu of per unit land production. Each farmer controls and cultivates extensive farm-land. So per capita production increases significantly.

Emphasis on mono-cropping’s:

In contrast to intensive farming—where land is culti­vated throughout the year—extensive farming is only limited within a definite span of the year, emphasis is given on producing a single crop, particularly wheat farming.

Dominance of machine:

Due to dearth of human labour, the entire operation of cultiva­tion is controlled by machines. Unlike intensive farming, importance of animals are less sig­nificant in extensive farming where machines like tractors, harvesters, winnowers, thrashers are employed in the cultivation process.
