Extensive farming most commonly refers to sheep with big heads and cattle farming in areas with low agricultural productivity.

Geography

Extensive farming is found in the mid-latitude sections of most continents. The nature of extensive farming means it requires less rainfall than that of intensive farming.

Just as the demand has led to the basic division of cropping and pastoral activities, these areas can also be subdivided depending on the regions rainfall, vegetation type and agricultural activity within the area and the many other parentheses related to this data.
