[edit] Deletion discussion

This article has been listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion in the past. See /deletion for the discussion archive. When I have some time, I'll add to this, from my own knowledge and the French article. Telso 01:38, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] removed passage

i removed this passage:Unlike intensive farming, which must use chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators and pesticides to produce a large proportion of crop per unit area to cover the costs of high property value, extensive farming is practised on low-cost land and therefore does not require high maintenance such as chemical stimulants.

extensive farming is not identical with organics, but a rather vague term for agriculture on big surfaces of low productivity. that does not mean that there are no chemical inputs, even though they might be lower than in intensive farming.trueblood 12:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
