Extensive farming
Extensive farming is very common in my community since it requires since it requires small labor inputs and capital. My community is one with low record of rainfall so agricultural productivity is low and the commonly grown crops are the grains like wheat, maize etc. Animals that are reared in the extensive farming are the sheep, cattle goats.

The animals are allowed by the farmer to go out and feed on grasses on their own and then brought back to their cage made for them. I’m this farming, animals are likely less exposed to exotic species.
