Abstract: The agricultural sector is coming under increasing scrutiny as to its contribution to environmental degradation. The concepts of corporate social responsibility and environmental and product liability suggest that agribusiness firms have a duty and are responsible not only for the environmental impacts of their production and distribution operations but in part for the environmental practices and impacts of those who use their products and from whom they acquire raw materials as well. More and more agribusiness firms are expected to develop environmentally responsible corporate policies that are substantiative in nature rather than simply public relations gestures. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
