Intensive farming covers produce like fruits, dairy products, poultry, and vegetables, among others. On the other hand, extensive farming concerns itself with ranching, cattle farming as well as mixed farming, and so on. Is it advisable to start with the former?

I thought intensive farming was growing as much as possible in the smallest area possible. It's all about maximizing yield and using chemicals to get there if necessary. Extensive farming is just the opposite. You can intensively farm livestock. That's where factory farms come in. I think they're horrible and wrong, but it's a method of intensive farming.
