Why would you want to?
From Wikipedia:
Intensive agriculture has a number of benefits:
- Significantly increased yield per acre, per person, and per dollar relative to extensive farming and therefore,
- Food becomes more affordable to the consumer as it costs less to produce.
- The same area of land is able to supply food and fibre for a larger population reducing the risk of starvation.
Of course, the drain on the soil and water supply might make continuous farming a bit difficult, but that can be mitigated with the use of fertilizer and crop rotation.
