Extensive Livestock Farming
Extensive livestock farming is a method of raising animals over large areas of land, often with low stocking densities. This approach typically involves grazing animals like cattle, sheep, and goats on natural pastures, allowing them to roam freely. It is commonly practiced in regions where land is abundant but resources like water and feed are limited.
This farming system relies on natural resources and often requires less investment in infrastructure compared to intensive farming. Extensive livestock farming can promote biodiversity and soil health, but it may also lead to challenges such as overgrazing and land degradation if not managed sustainably.
