Slash-and-burn cultivation is considered an extensive form of horticulture because it involves clearing and burning a section of forest to create a field for agriculture, which is then used for a few years before being abandoned for a new area. This method relies on large areas of land and is not intensive in terms of labor or inputs per unit of land.
