  • Abstract:
  • This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to industrial agriculture approaches, exploring the evolution, methodologies, and implications of large-scale farming practices. Industrial agriculture, characterized by high-input, high-output farming systems, has significantly transformed global food production over the past century. Key components such as mechanization, chemical inputs (fertilizers and pesticides), genetic modification, and monoculture practices are examined in detail. The paper discusses the economic advantages of industrial agriculture, including increased efficiency, productivity, and scalability, which have contributed to global food security. However, it also critically addresses the environmental and social challenges associated with these methods. Issues such as soil degradation, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and the socio-economic impact on small-scale farmers are highlighted. Furthermore, the paper reviews current trends and innovations aimed at mitigating negative impacts, such as sustainable intensification, precision agriculture, and the integration of agroecological principles. By presenting a balanced perspective, this review aims to inform stakeholders about the complexities of industrial agriculture and the necessity for adopting more sustainable practices to ensure long-term agricultural productivity and environmental health. The paper concludes with a call for interdisciplinary research and policy-making that harmonizes industrial efficiency with ecological and social sustainability.
