The Soviet Union transformed agriculture into an industry primarily through collectivization, which began in the late 1920s. This process involved consolidating individual peasant farms into large, state-controlled collective farms (kolkhozes) and state farms (sovkhozes), aiming to increase efficiency and production. The government employed mechanization, introduced modern farming techniques, and utilized state control over resources and distribution to elevate agricultural output. However, this shift often led to widespread resistance from peasants, resulting in significant social and economic upheaval.
