Therefore, there is less diversity of vegetables for consumers to try at the supermarkets. Kingsolver’s complaints however focus on private companies doing what is best for their business when growing food. However, she is qualified to speak on this topic with a lot of experience
Inspirational, motivational and informative are three words that can be used to describe the presentation given by Angie Corwin, the Program Director for CAFF. It is a non-profit organization that stands for Community Alliance with Family Farmers. The point was made by Mrs. Corwin that CAFF works with farmers. Not, for or in association, but specifically with farmers to showcase that, “CAFF’s mission is to build sustainable food and farming system through policy advocacy and on-the- ground programs that create more resilient family farms, communities and ecosystems”. The statement of CAFF’s mission by Mrs. Corwin’s, gave the class and myself a clear vision of what CAFF stands for.

Pathos are shown when the authors talk about the harm to the farmers because of Monsanto’s actions. For example, Steele and Barlett write “Monsanto has launched thousands of investigations and filed lawsuits against hundreds of farmers and seed dealers. In a 2007 report, the Center for Food Safety, in Washington, D.C., documented 112 such lawsuits, in 27 states. ”(Steele and Barlett 7) Monsanto takes their company so seriously that if a farmer dares to use anything non-Monsanto they have a great chance of facing a lawsuit.

“Farmers are looking for information to help them grow more with fewer resources and less environmental impact” (Johnson, 2015). Through the evolution of technology, they are doing just that, in 2017 most farmers are now able to feed 255 people a day, compared to 1950, when one farmer could only feed 29 people (Johnson, 2015). This is due to the new technological advances that have been made in the farming industry such as motorized equipment, modified housing for animals and biotechnology, which attribute to the improvement of agriculture. Advancement of technology has allowed farmers to can feed more people and with greater technology it results in fewer people to work on the fields. Development of equipment has also contributed to the farmer’s way of farming and how they produce food.

In the article, “The Omnivore’s Delusion” Blake Hurst expresses his idea that agri- intellectuals, people who claim that industrial farming is inhuman, have a warped perspective on the reality of modern day farming. Essentially, Hurst proposes that there are both positive and negative aspects to both industrial farming and organic farming. Hurst states that during organic farming when farmers do not use unnatural additives, the whole process becomes more troublesome due to the increase of molds, fungus, and bugs. The author writes, “… some of the largest farms in the country are organic—and are giant organizations dependent upon lots of hired stoop labor doing the most backbreaking of tasks in order to save the sensitive conscience of my fellow
Outline the Importance of the Crop to Australia’s Economy Australia’s wine industry has evolved over the last 200 years from a small collection of plants introduced by early settlers to an internationally recognised wine producer, known for its quality, variety and innovation.

This is because Coles is one of the largest and leading food retailers in Australia, which makes new entrant of the food retail industry hard to ncompete with a supermarket like Coles. Also, the threatening combination of domestic zoning regulations and leasing conditions with landlords has caused an induced deprivation of grocery shopping sites. This has prevented numerous businesses from expanding into the market, especially international organizations whom are interested in entering the Australian grocery industry. If there were possibilities that new organizations are able to enter the Australian grocery market, they would have to compete with Coles. The organizations must be able to pull off economics of scale, massive investment in infrastructure and facilities and with the skills to
Teresa and Kevin Springs, the owners of TKO Farm go to great lengths to educate the new generation on sustainable farming, but there is some resistance. In history, farming was a means of growing all the food one needed, and in one place, but for Black farmers, it means something different. Many young African Americans resist the idea of farming because “the thought of farming leaves a bad taste in their mouth, but we believe farming is the key to independence” (“More than Just a Farm” n.d.). Teresa says. The Springs have found countless benefits with farming, and they want to pass down the knowledge they received from their co-op elders.
Although, Morrisons have arrived lately to non-food retail compared to its competitors, however the retailer managed to effectively incorporate new products in short period of time by means of acquisitions of meat and seafood processing facilities, Flower World, Kiddicare, and others. One feature differentiating Morrisons from Asda, Sainsbury’s, and Tesco, is developed vertically integrated supply chain. The advantage of this model is that it gives greater control upon quality of fresh food products by closely collaborating with farmers. Morrisons’ owning of fresh food producing facilities improves its delivery time, and helps to avoid extra costs related to supply chain.
