In agricultural economics, system of cultivation using
large amounts of labour and capital relative to land area.
Large amounts of labour and capital are necessary to the
application of fertilizer, insecticides, fungicides, and
herbicides to growing crops, and capital is particularly
important to the acquisition and maintenance of high-
efficiency machinery for planting. Intensive agriculture is
an agricultural production system characterized by the
significant use of inputs, and seeking to maximize the
production. It is sometimes also called productivist
agriculture. It relies on the use of chemical fertilizers,
herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth
regulators, pesticides. It is associated with the
increasing use of modern practices and agricultural
mechanization. An example of intensive farming can be seen
in places such as the Philippines, on rice farms.Intensive
agriculture made it possible to greatly increase
productivity during the twentieth century, and helped
ensure a proper and stable food supply for the growing
population while at the same time decreasing the amount of
land needed. Agricultural productivity gains allowed for
the reduction in the farming population, mostly in
developed countries. Increased per-acre productivity has
allowed millions of acres of land in the United States that
was once farmed to return to a natural state.
Intensification of agriculture from the sixties to the
eighties is also known as the green revolution. Developing
nations often could not profit from the advantages of
modern agriculture particularly because of poor climate and
lack of funds.
