Resource focus puts constraints on and affords opportunities for all parties. Agribusiness
historically has focused on efficiencies in order to maximize production
with minimum inputs. Today, scarcity and costs of critical resources, such as water
and power, force different kinds of efficiencies, such as no-till farming, creating
and growing drought- and salt-tolerant plants. Fish scarcity is changing policy
from maximum harvest to managing fisheries according to their environmental
impact and sustainability. Green consumerism and health advocacy initiatives are
creating new constraints on sustainability, preservation of resources, and conveyance
of the value added to health and vitality.
