" The Corporate Agribusiness Research Project (CARP) was

established to monitor corporate agribusiness from a

public interest prospective through awareness, education,

and action while at the same time advocating the

importance of building alternative, democratically

controlled food systems. By utilizing fact-based

strategic research and the publishing of The AgriBusiness

Examiner, a weekly e-mail newsletter, and The Agbiz

Tiller, a periodic online news feature service, CARP seeks

to serve family farmers, farm workers and consumers in

their struggles for economic and social justice. "
