The Use of High Yielding Varieties (HYV)
The practice of commercial farming uses high doses of modern inputs and high yielding varieties of seeds, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, weed killers, and insecticides. This is done to obtain higher production but has detrimental effects on environmental sustainability

It is Capital-intensive
Since the practice requires a lot of investment before it is started it, therefore, implies that it requires a lot of capital to get it up and running.
The capital is used to purchase farm materials such as seedlings or seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, machinery, the farm itself, and in paying for the expenses incurred such as water and electricity bills, and in paying for labor, and expertise.

Commercial farming sees livestock and crops produced in large numbers. For this reason, it requires a lot of land, advanced technology, and expertise to meet the expected production targets or goals.
