The term "free-range" generally refers to the method of raising animals or farming products in a space allowing natural behavior and movement. Antonyms for "free-range" could be "caged," "confined," "restricted," or "enclosed." These terms depict a system in which animals are kept in a small and limited space without any movement or freedom to roam. "Intensive farming" or "factory farming" are also used as antonyms for free-range farming, indicating a highly commercialized and industrialized system, where animals are kept in cramped spaces and fed with antibiotics and artificial feed. Moreover, "indoors" and "underground" could also be antonyms of free-range farming, where animals are kept indoors in a closed environment or underground without any access to outside space or natural light.
