    Commercial agriculture focuses on growing crops for profit, while subsistence agriculture focuses on growing enough food to feed the local community. Plantation farming is a type of commercial agriculture where a single crop is grown on a large area of land using intensive farming techniques. Intensive farming uses machinery and high inputs to maximize crop yields on a small area of land, while extensive grain farming uses less machinery and inputs to produce crops over a large area.
