Extract

The authors in this session are to be commemorated on their attempt to integrate the bodies of knowledge of agricultural industrialization and sustainable development. Drs. Davis and Langham's broad based paper explores the domestic vrs. international markets, small vrs. large farmers, North vrs. South theory, and finishes with the unique issues of developing countries. Dr. Drabenstott's paper is primarily concerned with domestic industrialization. This paper is full of examples of how industrialization has taken place and explores the possibilities of the future. Drabenstott does not attempt to answer or to discuss the issue of sustainability. Instead he focuses on the new consumer demands being placed on firms for quick services and quality products.
