José Bové dénonce "l'agri-business"


Explanation:
C'est le terme employé dans les déclarations de la mouvance, généralement entre guillemets, je le garderais donc dans le cadre de l'explication de la dénonciation:

http://terresacree.org/page4.htm
PORTO ALEGRE, Brésil (AP) -- Alors que le Forum social mondial, l'anti-Davos, débattait vendredi des OGM, plus d'un millier de paysans du Mouvement des sans-terre a occupé pendant quelques heures et pacifiquement une usine Monsanto, chef de file mondial de l'''agri-business''.

On trouve aussi "agro-business", références ci-dessous

Les grandes exploitations agricoles / Les grands producteurs agricoles


Explanation:
Hi Charlotte,

You can use a true French word here as you see in the ref. below:

"et de la production alimentaire, de manière à ce que les grandes exploitations
agricoles ne soient plus protégées; d'établir une nouvelle catégorie d ...
www.gov.on.ca/OMAFRA/french/agops/report.html - 76k"

and:

"Dans les pays en développement et les économies en transition, les producteurs
agricoles sont généralement confrontés aux grands problèmes suivants: ...
www.unctad.org/infocomm/francais/accordsfr.htm - 15k"

you could have the following sentence:
"notre (ou la qualité de notre) approvisionnement alimentaire est menacé au niveau mondial par la production de masse des grandes exploitations agricoles"

I hope this helps
