Agribusiness Group Paper

Abstract

Agribusiness is a critical component of U.S. commerce. In fact, some have argued that agribusiness is as politically and strategically important to the U.S. as oil is to the Middle East. Agribusiness is a diverse industry that feeds the nation and resources the national strategy. While U.S. agribusiness is the world's leader, it is challenged by global competition and dynamic changes in technology and structure. The security posture of the United States depends on a safe, reliable, and plentiful global food supply. U.S. national security strategists must recognize the industry's global role, and the challenges facing this vital industry.
