There are also concerns of how intensive farming expends a lot of greenhouse gases--carbon dioxide and methane--through how animals are farmed intensively, much machinery is used, and how manure is handled. Fertilizer has the potential--and often does--leach from the soil into water ways contaminating water supply.
The concern with this question, though, is what the questioner is referring as "intensive farming" to, whether it's CAFO's, or just crops.
it makes it smell bad.
In intensive rotational grazing, no. In dairy farming (which is intensive), yes.
Most chickens are raised in an intensive environment some call "factory farming", but is really called Confined Animal Feeding Operations.
Intensive farming for a farmer is to take several crops from his farmland in a year. The crop rotation for intensive farming is very important factor to maintain soil fertility also.

Intensive subsistence farming is the maximization of food production.
Intensive pastoral farming is a type of agricultural system that focuses on maximizing livestock production within a specific area through methods such as high stocking rates, use of fertilizers, and supplementary feeding. This method often involves closely managing pastureland to ensure high levels of animal productivity. It can lead to increased outputs but also poses challenges related to environmental sustainability and animal welfare.
Intensive farming can happen anywhere, usually where there is a high number of rain to keep the crops healthy, although not too much rain to over water them. It is also common you see intensive farming in areas with good soil, and less polution (away from factories and businesses).
