    Agribusiness is the industrialization and globalization of the farming industry, more often than not it also involves the mechanization of the labor in order to streamline it. At a glance agribusiness may be seen and even portrayed as the solution to the global food issues, but that is far from the truth as we have seen in the documentary film Hungry for Profit agribusiness’ main purpose is profit as in the end agribusiness is in fact a business. With this in mid it should not come as a surprise that agribusiness, despite all the propaganda, isn’t a solution to the world food issues, in fact one can argue it is a cause for some as they choose to sell their product to foreign markets instead of locals ones in order to make more money.

    An expanding human population has led to increased farming and accelerated soil erosion. When the soil has a low capacity to retain water, farmers must pump groundwater up and spray it over crops. The local water table will eventually fall. This water depletion can impact native vegetation in the area and have been doing this for several years. Agroforestry is a method of cultivating both crops and trees on the same land. Farmers plant agricultural crops between the rows of tree that generate income during the time it take the trees to grow mature enough to produce earnings from nuts or lumber.
