How is intensive subsistence agriculture distinguished from extensive subsistence cropping?
Subsistence agriculture is that in which the farmers use or consume most of what they produce, rather than selling it in a market (commercial agriculture). Intensive subsistence agriculture refers to subsistence agriculture that supports a large number of people on a relatively small parcel of land (i.e., high physiological density). The primary example of intensive subsistence agriculture would be rice growing, such as that found in East, South and Southeast Asia. Extensive subsistence agriculture, on the other hand, is that which requires a lot of land to support relatively few people (i.e., low physiological density). Examples of this type include shifting cultivation/swidden agriculture (or slash and burn) and pastoral nomadism.
What is the difference between intensive subsistence agriculture and extensive commercial farming?
Intensive subsistence agriculture is a type of agriculture that raises animals in a CAFO (Confined Animal Feeding Operation)-type operation or monoculture crops for the farmer and farm family's own use. Extensive commercial farming is the opposite of above, where food is produced for other people and for profit. This type of agriculture is actually a definition to what is called "ranching:" grazing livestock (mainly cattle or sheep) on native grasslands or as nature intended, and not subjecting them to confined spaces where they are given their feed, not made to look for their own food. At the end of every year, excess stock (culls and stocker/feeder calves or lambs) are sold for a profit.

How does traditional agriculture compare with commercial farming?

They also use traditional agriculture to make a small profit but nothing large as they usually have to sell it themselves. Therefore traditional agriculture is not as large as commercial farming.
