The major achievements of the Green Revolution consisted of the development of high-yielding crop varieties, increased mechanization, synthetic fertilizers, a dizzying array of pesticides (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, etc.), An acre may provide foraging for cattle, sheep, pigs, laying hens, broilers and turkeys.

Farming and ranching involve the fields of biology, ecology, chemistry, botany, physics, geology, meteorology, politics, economics, psychology and mechanics, just to name a few. In this case, tillage is less of the disturbance in question, although some pastureland is regularly disturbed mechanically. Its much more complex than that.
