Informal shorthand for agribusiness, the large-scale commercial agricultural industry encompassing farming, processing, distribution, and lobbying. Common in journalism, policy writing, and casual conversation when discussing industrial agriculture as an economic or political force. Often carries a mildly critical undertone, distinguishing corporate farming from small-scale or family operations. More common in writing than in speech.
