Abstract

This article is a rescue of the formation and development process of Agribusiness. Focusing on the issue of agriculture?s industrialization and the emergency of Agrobiotechnology, it unveils the mechanisms of concentration, centralization and capital control on agriculture, its main features, and it discusses about a central issue in the debate over capitalist agriculture development: the destruction of the peasantry processed on a global scale, inserting in this discussion the issue of production and agricultural productivity expansion and the persistence of world hunger. Engrossing a critique to Agribusiness, it proposes the Agroecology with necessary grounding to redesign the current agricultural and feeding system with a way to potentiate an agriculture environmentally and socially developed.
