The agriculture industry continues to move toward increased specialization, standardization, and consolidation (corporate control). At the same time, the growing popularity of organic, locally grown foods reflects consumer concerns about the impact of our industrial food system. There will be many opportunities for companies, organizations and entrepreneurs who can meet the varying needs of farming, agribusiness and consumers. Understanding those needs and the trade-offs involved will be key to success.
