"I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words, but of deeds." These famous words from "The FFA Creed" by E.M. Tiffany outline the basic beliefs of FFA members and agriculturists around the world.

Today, we'll examine the primary causes of this disconnect, the negative effects on agriculture and our society as a whole that results from it, and how you can help solve this ever-growing problem.

Upon my entrance into high school, I quickly became involved in the National FFA Organization. Many of my family members gave me crazy looks

Especially in the food industry, the buyers always had and always will have a very high power because of all of the variety the market can offer. A surprising thing about Chipotle customers is that their loyalty is based on how the food taste but as I mention before, consumers in generally want to change their food habit regularly, so it is not normal in this industry that a person eats more than three times a week in the same restaurant, that is why buyers here with
