18% of the economic active population (some 8 million Mexicans) are dedicated to the agriculture in Mexico. I would say that qualifies as "many".
In terms of population? Due to the Green Revolution, and the Mexican Economic Miracle (both between 1940-1970). The Green Revolution allowed for better maize, wheat and rice crops which increased agricultural efficiency and food availability in Mexico; the Mexican Economic Miracle was a phase of economic development in which Mexico began its industrialization, allowing for even more efficiency (i.e: mechanized agriculture, better transportation of harvests, nitrate fertilizers).

Industry, definitively:Agriculture employs 18% of the total active population, while industry employs 24% of the total labor force.Also, agriculture accounts for 4% of Mexico's GDP while industry accounts for some 27%
Agriculture accounts for 3.6% of Mexico's GDP (2013).
New Mexico is cattle country, but sheep also have a major role in agriculture.
It increased productivity on crops such as maize, wheat and rice, whit in turn allowed the population explosion found in Mexico since the 1950's. From a population of some 26 million in 1950 it now boasts a population of 114 million and still growing. It also displaced many workers, as crop productivity required less farmers. These in turn migrated into Mexico cities, thus fueling the still ongoing industrialization process.
The Green Revolution, which allowed for improved crops and higher yields. As an example, before such event (1940), Mexico had a population of only 20.2 million. By 1970, it had a population of 50.7 million. Forty years later, Mexico has reached a population of more than 113 million and is still growing.
