Health issues tend to dominate many traditional agribusiness strategies. The creation
of “no-fat fats,” seed hybrids, and genetic alterations integrate strong doses of medical
information and testing. Issues such as pesticide residues, food contaminates, and
water purity rank high in the public consciousness (Peterson et al., 2001). The extent
to which new foods enhance health and wellness ultimately will determine their
success in the vitality market segment.
