extensive agriculture| Farming system where the area of the farm is large but there are low inputs (such as labour or fertilizers). Extensive farming generally gives rise to lower yields per hectare than intensive agriculture. For example, in East Anglia, intensive use of land may give wheat yields as high as 53 tonnes per hectare, whereas an extensive wheat farm on the Canadian prairies may produce an average of 8.8 tonnes per hectare. |
