Intensive farming is labour- intensive agriculture whose main purpose is cultivate on a small tract with the help of manpower. To produce quality crops and maximum output, farmers use fertilizers, and pesticides to a great extent. With the help of an intensive production system farmers enhance the soil and crop quality. It is a method where a large number of crops are grown with intensive use of agrochemicals and other input strategies to a higher output. This farming technique that help increase the higher production from a specific land. Pasture intensification is a term for pasture soils and grasses to increase the food production potential of livestock systems. This process is characterized by loss of forage because of overgrazing, poor nutrient management and lack of soil conservation. These adverse effects lead to the degradation of pasture soils which can decrease the water availability, and fertility and may increase the acidification. Deteriorate pastures may significantly lower productivity.
Practices of intensive farming in some countries are sustainable, which is develop to stop degrading agricultural land and then regenerate soil health and ecosystem services also. These upgrades include the intensive and organic farming category, a combination of organic and traditional farming. It includes bio intensive farming, agroforestry, intercropping and vertical farming.
