Tuffy · Answer 2

Globalization can have a negative impact on American farmers because the effects of this process are uneven. One of the major challenges for farmers in the corporatization of the business. In addition to the push for increased production, decrease in the number of small and minority owned farms and the pressure on the livestock industry, outsourcing has also been a serious problem. Corporatization has made it easier to outsource problematic farming practices to other parts of the world.
