Intensive farming is a method of agriculture that requires the use of a large amount of resources, such as water, chemicals, and machinery, to produce a high yield. There are several synonyms that can be used to describe this method, including industrial farming, factory farming, agribusiness, high-input farming, and modern farming. While the use of intensive farming techniques can increase production efficiency, it can also have negative environmental and social impacts, such as soil degradation, water pollution, and the displacement of small-scale farmers. Alternative methods of farming, such as organic farming and sustainable agriculture, prioritize ecological and social considerations over increased production, and may offer a more balanced approach to food production.
