Q. Which of the following statements correctly differentiate Intensive Farming and Extensive Farming?

1. Intensive farming is characterized by high inputs of capital or labour relative to land area, whereas extensive farming uses little inputs relative to land area.
2. Intensive farming can significantly damage the soil profile, whereas extensive farming significantly improves the soil profile.
3. There is high yield per hectare in intensive farming, while yields per hectare are much lower in extensive farming.

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 3
Notes: Statement 1 is correct as intensive farming uses higher inputs per land area compared to extensive farming. Statement 3 is also correct since intensive farming usually produces higher yields per hectare. Statement 2 is incorrect; intensive farming does not necessarily damage the soil but utilizes it more intensively, and extensive farming does not inherently improve soil profile.
