ABSTRACT
Agricultural production is usually classified into two categories: extensive and intensive. Extensive agriculture is crop cultivation using small amounts of labor and capital in relation to the area of land being farmed. The crop yield in extensive agriculture depends primarily on the natural fertility of the soil, the terrain, the climate, and the availability of water. On the other hand, intensive agriculture is associated with high inputs of capital, labor, and technology. The ultimate goal of intensive agriculture is to increase yield (quantity and quality) relative to the farmed land area in an attempt to meet the increasing demand of the growing world population.
