    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. One example of this is seen in the Philippians were Del Monte began to set up operations, but in doing so also began to drive out local farmers and take over their land. Unlike some other instances that we saw in their…

    The fast-casual dining industry has expanded within recent years, but one sub-segment set for the largest growth is the fast-casual Mexican dining niche (LaVecchia, 2003). More recently, top competitors such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Taco Bell and Qdoba have invested valuable resources in separating themselves from their quick serve competitors. All of these companies present specific strategic strengths. However, the one factor they all have in common is the goal of being able to serve their customers quality food in a significantly reduce amount of time.…

    Steven Pressfield's The Gates of Fire is set in the fifth century B.C. in Greece. The story revolves around the famous battle of Thermopylae where three hundred Spartans held off hundreds of thousands of Persians, saving Greece. Pressfield creates a fictional story around the battle where one man, a squire named Xeones, survives to tell the Spartan story of the battle and the events preceding it.

    218). In reference to the sensitivity needed when teaching these new methods to established farmers, it is important to remember that they are not to be taught as simple minded and uneducated, but as having established practices, experiences, techniques and knowledge of the crops they cultivate that stretches centuries. In this regard, it must also be remembered that the hope that biotechnology offers to end hunger in these communities belongs to the farmers that implement them, not only the scientists that develop them (Machuka, 2001). Equally important to the success of biotechnology is that scientists and extensionists interact with farmers to attain acceptance and use of new technologies for sustainable food production and development. Without education and acceptance by farmers, implementation of these programs will fail and without encouragement and allowance by local and national government leaders, provincial farmers will not ever get the opportunity for education and…

    From the large growth of agriculture brings great economic, social and environmental advancements but breeds some negative habits and troubles that we have to deal with quickly, before it is too late. With the population rapidly increasing, agriculture provides great job opportunities. While this is great for unemployed seeking opportunities from large corporations, small farmers are slowly being overrun by the neat, checkerboard fields of these businesses.

    Threats of New Entry (Entry Barriers) – Pompeian needs to evaluate how other companies could enter the olive oil market and how quickly they could become a national distributor of the product. This threat is a low one for Pompeian, the barriers to enter are high for this industry. An early difficulty for a start up company would be sourcing product, many of the distributors have relationships and proven track records with suppliers making it hard for an unknown person in the field to get the same attention and supply to materials. If a company would think instead to cultivate their own crop, this too would be a massive undertaking. The time between planting new trees and…

    In today’s world, where everyone is striving towards modernisation of the highest form in all aspects of life, there seems to be less and less space for traditional ways of doing anything anymore. It is no different in the agricultural sector. Agricultural geography may be seen as being rooted in outmoded concerns for “natural resources” and “basic human needs” in an economic era of “signs and space” (Lash & Urry, 1994). At every turn, new chemicals, machinery, and more “modern” methods of farming and agriculture are being touted as the best and only means of advancement. High yields of crops are favoured over their quality, and large farms which specialise in monocropping are fast replacing smaller farms which have more diversified crop varieties but smaller yields. It seems as though, in order to please the masses, sacrifices have to be made; these sacrifices being the small-scale farms and their traditional, “old-fashioned” methods. But is this direction truly the best possible option for the Caribbean, where little change has taken place in terms of agronomic practices since the days of slavery (Rankine, 1972)? Are large harvests of only a limited variety of crops worth the larger amounts of chemicals and inputs necessary for their production? Are these methods sustainable or environmentally friendly? Is “modern” agriculture all it’s claimed to be? These are the question that this paper will seek to uncover the answers for, and in so doing, reveal why modern agriculture may not necessarily be the best choice for traditionalist, small-scale Caribbean farmers.…
