Hi Rashid,
Maybe this might help. Try searching exactly for what you need, i.e. search these words, "Industriial Agriculture, Benefits of" or some such similar group of words. If you want Industrial Agriculture to be found only as just that two-word duo, then type them with quote marks at each end of the group of words you want to find in that exact order, i.e. "Industrial Agriculture", then add 'Benefits of' or 'Arguments for' with a comma before Benefits or Arguments...
Another idea might be to review the 100 or 250 word summaries of scholarly papers. These are called abstracts in academia and elsewhere. You can look up specific titles or keywords, but since they were often created with the blood, sweat and tears of graduate students (many are unpaid or supported), the authors usually want to be reimbursed if you want to read their entire text with full references/citations.
Another idea might be to use the different search engines and query them beacuse they might use different algorithms to get their search results. Use Google, Yahoo, Bing, Dogpile, Alta Vista or others. Change your statement to a question with Bing, for example. LinkedIn, L.A. Green Drinks and other sites like that might be helpful to get interviews with experts/knowledgeable folks.
Avoid copying and pasting verbatim. Copiers are relatively easy to out. I used to do it with students all the time. Just call me. I will help you. I like doing this stuff. Email me if you need my number. Use

Subject: [Lapg] Industrial Agriculture Proponents?
I'm writing a research paper on Industrial Agriculture.
I basically have to find and explain intelligent arguments from both sides of the debate.
There's plenty of intelligent sounding arguments against conventional farming / industrial agriculture.
But I'm having trouble finding a variety of concrete arguments in favor of industrial agriculture.
Does anybody know of any credible or semi-credible sources for finding information or research that supports industrial agriculture??
Thanks
R
