A system of large-scale farming using extensive land with low-intensity cultivation, common in Australia and similar regions.
Compound of broad (wide) and acre (unit of land), literally 'broad acres,' describing the expansive farming methods typical of semi-arid regions.
Broadacre farming is how Australia turns huge, sparse landscapes into productive land—it's such a distinctly Australian term that even English speakers outside Australia might not know it defines a completely different approach to agriculture than intensive European farming.
