Extensive agriculture is an agricultural production system that uses small inputs of labor, fertilizers and capital relative to the land area being farmed. Extensive agriculture is distinguished from intensive agriculture in that the latter, employing large amounts of labor and capital, enables one to apply fertilizers, plant protection products and to plant, cultivate, and often harvest mechanically. Because extensive agriculture produces a lower yield per unit of land, its use commercially requires large quantities of land in order to be profitable. This demand for land means that extensive agriculture must be carried on where land values are low in relation to labour and capital, which in turn means that extensive agriculture is practiced where population densities are low and thus usually at some distance from primary markets. The production of cereal and industrial crops tends to be the focal point for agricultural enterprises. Cereals like Sorghum, Millets, Wheat, Maize and Rice are major staple foods of the most population.
