[Lapg] Industrial Agriculture Proponents?

[Dennis Pilien]

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 dpilien98 at yahoo.com 

Towards sustainability,
Best,
Dennis

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
