Agriculture & Food
We investigate factors affecting the viability and sustainability of farms
and agricultural and food businesses in Pennsylvania, the US and around the
world.
These factors include the decisions, practices and interests of
stakeholders from input suppliers and farmers to consumers, policymakers and
activists.
