LP: >industrialized farming historically has meant one thing and one
thing only: the introduction of chemical fertilizers, monoculture,
pesticides and everything that goes along with that.<
Here in California, we have industrialized farming, with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc., but it's hard to describe it as involving monoculture.
BTW, I think that "commercial" or "commercialized" farming is a better term, referring to the profit-seeking motive. "Industrialized" focuses on the technique, which glosses over the commercial causes of use of destructive "industrial" techniques.
