Preferred term

agro-food system  

Definition

  • The term agro-food system, sometimes called agrifoods, captures the increasingly long and complicated path that food takes to get to our table. Although we may like to think that the food we eat comes from a farm, that is only one place among many involved in the system that produces our food. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Geography; Agro-Food System]
