In the book's forward, Ray Goldberg, Moffett Professor of Agriculture
and Business emeritus, Harvard University, writes, It is impossible to
do justice to the unique contribution of the entrepreneurs of
agriculture whose accomplishments Dr. Drache recounts in Creating
Abundance. These leaders, together with their extended families, are
continuing to change the structure of the U.S. agribusiness system from
genetic inputs to sophisticated, healthy, and nutritious food products
to the development of functional food, nutriceuticals, pharmaceuticals,
fiber, and energy. As did the vision before them, these entrepreneurs of
the new century are providing ways to assure the consumer of
consistency, quality, and safety using expertise that can trace animals
and crops from the gene to the final product (they) keep the U.S.
agribusiness/agriceutical system competitive in a global marketplace.
