1) Intensive farming is an agricultural method of increasing the crop yield by heavy use of chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, etc. and machines. On the other extreme, extensive farming is a farming method, wherein acres of land are being farmed, with lower inputs, i.e. labour and investment, in comparison to the land.
2) While intensive farming is performed in the areas, which are densely populated, extensive farming takes place in the region of a moderate population.
3) In densely populated areas, intensive farming can easily be practised because it requires the small area for cultivation. However, the land in such areas is expensive. On the contrary, extensive farming can be undertaken in the areas where there are huge farms for cultivation. Nevertheless, the farms are relatively less expensive.
