Corporate farming

Corporate farming refers to large-scale agricultural operations owned and operated by corporations rather than individual farmers. These entities manage extensive tracts of land to grow crops or raise livestock primarily for profit and mass distribution. Unlike traditional family farms, corporate farms often use advanced technology, economies of scale, and intensive resources to maximize output and reduce costs. This approach can increase food production efficiency but may also raise concerns about environmental sustainability, local farming viability, and the impact on small-scale farmers and communities.
