Agribusiness

What does Agribusiness mean in American Law?

The definition of Agribusiness in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

A term used to refer to the whole process of producing and distributing agricultural commodities, ordinarily employed by people trying to counter whatever sympathy remains for “the sturdy farmer” by suggesting that farm goods in an advanced western society are as much the product of large, complex, bureaucratic organizations as are industrial products. Hence, e.g., when a proposal is made to give some tax break with respect to the production of an agricultural product the people in favor of the break will speak of “the plight of the farmer,” while the opponents will talk about “a giveaway to agribusiness.”
