Large farms vs. family-owned farms
Literature Review
Most family owned agricultural lands in Australia are comparatively small, even though it
reflects a noticeable process of grouping in some segments for instance, plantation of vegetables,
with trading activities focused on farmers employing staff and accumulated productive land.
Such farmers might remain in a comparatively healthier business situation namely, the different
purchasers, who wish to be exceedingly, dedicated to determined nutritional sectors in Australia.
Though, this differs from miscellaneous types of larger entities to subdivisions, the bulk of
distinct farms do not stand in a situation to assure the capacity and established value that the key
purchasers for instance, superstores and workstations pursue (Lowder et al. 2016).
They lay correspondingly in a pathetic position with reference to negotiation for the reason that

justifiable food security (Trocuk et al. 2012).
The acceptance of skills for supportable farming arrangements remains a challenging and self-
