Agriculture is the oldest and most traditional of economic sectors, and its business has seen major leaps in innovation over the past century.

Reflecting on these changes and providing a deep dive into this sector, this two-volume work defines, refines, analyses, and prescribes the evolution of agribusiness in the present and future. Taken together, the books offer a comprehensive conceptualisation of the multifactorial macro, micro and organisational elements of agribusiness, including strategic, managerial, marketing, technological and geo-socio-political forces.
Volume II focuses on the wider, macro-environmental forces acting upon agribusinesses, exploring the contextual evolutions that impact the sector, and the means, practices and avenues for its development. It includes topics such as digital technologies adoption, supply chain sustainability, big data analytics, women s agricultural entrepreneurship, and simulation model decision making.
