Trends in Agriculture and Agribusiness

ABSTRACT There has been a major shift from agriculture to agribusiness. Trade liberalization, deregulation, consumerization, market homogeneity, vertical integration, genetically modified crops (GMCs), frankenfood, stewardship, decommodification interdependence, and sophistication are current trends that have reshaped the industry. This paper outlines these key changes illustrating that information is important and can provide a powerful competitive edge. An annotated list of Web resources is included to help librarians satisfy the increasing need for information on a wide variety of topics for anyone interested in current agricultural developments.
