Which one of the following best describes the concept of 'Small Farmer Large Field'?

Describes collectivisation (kolkhoz) where small peasant holdings were eliminated and peasants forced to cultivate collectively on large, state-controlled farms.

A student could combine this pattern of forced consolidation and collective cultivation with knowledge of post‑war land policies to test whether "Small Farmer Large Field" refers to resettlement of wartime uprooted people or to internal collectivisation.

Explains that most holdings are small/marginal and fragmented, and that such small size is viewed as unsuitable for modern (mechanised) agriculture.

Use this rule (small fragmented holdings motivating consolidation) plus knowledge of state responses to land fragmentation to judge if the concept implies consolidation into large collective fields.

Notes variation in what counts as a large farmer and that large farmers were the main gainers from modernisation, able to adopt new technology and expand landholdings.

A student could extend this by checking whether "Large Field" implies state-created large units (collective/state farms) or simply larger private holdings, helping separate collectivisation from resettlement-based schemes.

Highlights widespread existence of small plots and their relation to landless labour, and asks whether cultivated land distribution is unequal.

Combine this pattern of unequal/fragmented holdings with historical examples of land consolidation to assess if the concept involves collective cultivation and shared produce.

Describes how small/marginal farmers are disadvantaged (lack access to inputs/credit), which can motivate policies to reorganise agriculture into larger, more viable units.

A student could link this motivation for reorganisation to either privatized land consolidation or state collectivisation, and then check whether the statement's specific claim about wartime resettlement matches either option.
