I changed "corporate agriculture" back to "corporate farming". It simply adds another confusing variation, and the former is much less used than the latter. Tsavage 03:22, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is it really necessary for this article to contain sections on water conservation and similarly related sections? Wouldn't a link to articles involved suffice? Themusicgod1 (talk) 05:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What about a Criticisms section?

There's a lot of criticism of the agribusiness over its industrial practices in food production (i.e. pesticides, GMO's, monoculture farming, soil destruction, and its environmental impact). Why not have a section that presents the widespread arguments and the replies of the industry? I'd gladly put in, I would just like to know if this idea is opposed by anyone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.135.98.215 (talk) 00:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I think you are looking for the corporate farming or factory farming articles. Rmhermen (talk) 01:33, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

"They kill worms" versus "They feed people" is not a needed section of this article. Agribusiness has both good and bad aspects as does every other human enterprise. Add facts. Sourced facts. Balanced sourced facts. From objective sources. We don't need a complaints section any more than we need a praise section. WAS 4.250 (talk) 04:16, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
