Abstract
Intensive farming is commonly regarded simply as a route to higher profits but, as this review indicates, this oversimplifies the issue. Farms are businesses and must be run as such: often the prime incentive may, for a variety of not immediately obvious reasons, be simply a desire to survive in face of a complex pattern of adverse political, economic, and social factors. This article concerns itself primarily with farming in the UK within the broader framework of the Common Market, but it has lessons also for countries in the less developed world where intensification of production is currently being encouraged.
