Compared to farming, which is land-intensive, non-farming activities often require less land quantity.
Non-farming activities in rural areas (like manufacturing, services, trading) can typically be conducted in smaller spaces compared to the extensive land needed for agricultural cultivation.
The requirements for labour, capital, and raw materials vary significantly among different types of non-farming activities and do not have a consistent pattern of being “less” compared to farming. Land, however, is a distinguishing factor in terms of intensity of use between most farming and non-farming activities.
