How does intensive farming damages the environment?
It often involves the use of crops which, if not managed properly, can contribute to "mining" of the soil's nutrients, rendering it, over time, as useless if fertilizer is not applied to it regularly, crops are rotated, or some form of organic matter--through adoption of intensive grazing or no-till cropping--is allowed to be incorporated back into the soil to help increase fertility and quality. There are also concerns of how intensive farming expends a lot of greenhouse gases--carbon dioxide and methane--through how animals are farmed intensively, much machinery is used, and how manure is handled. Fertilizer has the potential--and often does--leach from the soil into water ways contaminating water supply.The concern with this question, though, is what the questioner is referring as "intensive farming" to, whether it's CAFO's, or just crops.
