To my mind, it is really intensive farming vs non-intensive farming. In Asia, even small farms are generally intensive. I have seen some small free-range poultry farms where chickens and ducks are given about 2 to 3 sq ft of space per bird, in an enclosed yard. That's intensive. Off the

Thanks Keith, for clarifying. In many ways, my farming methods are intensive but sustainable - more output than inputs, soil becoming richer with each passing year rather than being depleted, etc. But on the whole, I am not hopeful all said and done. In my country we have some of the oldest
