I can think of several differences other than material cost. Imagine harvesting your home garden. Now imagine 'scaling' that technique to 100 acres. That is a challenge.
I certainly do not have all the answers, but one thing seems to stand out is that there are some cultural practices that are optimized for a home garden and some that are optimized for a commercial farm. I'm not sure there will always be a 1:1 scaling of the exact same practices.
