The difference is largely based on the farmer's decision of what to grow. If s/he is growing crops and livestock which he plans to use only to feed his family and not to sell, it's subsistence agriculture. Once he crosses the line to selling more of what he grows for (hopefully) a profit than he keeps for his family, then he is heading toward industrialized agriculture. A hallmark of industrialized ag is also the use of machinery to produce the crop.

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.
