What to Focus On
- Intensive farming aims to maximise yield from limited land.
- It became popular in India after the Green Revolution in the 1960s.
- It was widely adopted in Punjab, Haryana, and Western Uttar Pradesh.
- High yields are a major advantage of intensive farming.
- Chemical use can damage soil and water.
- Modern farming can increase farmer debt.
- Fertilisers provide nutrients for faster growth.
- Pesticides kill pests but can also harm useful organisms.
- Excess chemicals cause soil degradation and water pollution.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Intensive farming is the same as traditional farming because both involve growing crops on land.
Monoculture means growing many crops together on the same land.
Cash crops are grown mainly for the farmer’s own family use.
