Preferred term

intensive agriculture  

Definition

  • Agricultural intensification can affect any of the inputs of an agricultural system—the crops planted, the labor expended, and the productivity exacted from the land. It can be driven by increasing population relative to the land available or by changes in market prices and demand for crops. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Agriculture, Intensive]
