Intensive agriculture - intensive agriculture

Japanese: 集約農業 - しゅうやくのうぎょう

Agricultural management that invests a lot of capital and labor per unit of cultivated land area. Agriculture that invests a lot of capital is called capital-intensive agriculture, and agriculture that invests a lot of labor is called labor-intensive agriculture. In areas with little cultivated land, production volume and profits are increased by investing in large amounts of production means such as fertilizer, agricultural machinery, and pesticides, as well as hired labor. In Japan, rice cultivation, greenhouse horticulture, dairy farming, and other farming are all intensive. Theoretically, the law of diminishing returns comes into effect after a certain limit of intensification is reached. → Extensive agriculture → Related topic Agriculture

単位耕地面積に多くの資本と労働力を投下する農業経営。資本を多く投下するものを資本集約的農業，労働力を多く投下するものを労働集約的農業という。耕地面積の少ないところでは肥料，農機具，農薬等の生産手段と雇用労働力の多量投下で生産量と収益の増大を図る。日本では，稲作をはじめ施設園芸，酪農などすべて集約的である。なお理論的には集約化が一定限度に達した後は収穫逓減の法則が作用する。→粗放農業
