Intensification of food production is gaining prominence in a world battered by climate change and food insecurity. Intensification aims to increase output for each unit of input (labour, land, time, fertiliser, seed, feed, or money).

The need for intensification is more pressing when the supply of food needs to be augmented. For instance, in case of high population growth scenarios.

Intensification that uses resources more effectively may be more important when social or environmental problems are involved. Agricultural intensification has unquestionably been a prerequisite for human civilisation despite its complexity.

Civilisations were based on organising, gathering, concentrating, selecting and harvesting plants and animals to diversify food. The domestication of animals and farming in the setting of productive agricultural systems allowed the human population to flourish.
