What is Agricultural Extension?

Extensive agriculture is a type of agriculture that involves raising livestock or crops in a non-intensive manner. Intensive farming is maximizing all resources to get the maximum amount of produce per acre or area. Extensive agriculture is the opposite: it is a means that actually ensures the integrity of the land and soil itself so it constantly and naturally maintains the necessary nutrients to raise livestock on or produce crops on. Cattle ranching is a common form of extensive agriculture.
