Abstract
The term "globalization" usually refers to the increasing economic integration and dependence between countries created through trade, foreign investment, immigration and emigration, cooperation, alliances, etc. across borders. Specific driving forces behind the globalization of
agriculture and the agri-food industry can be identified and are important in an assessment of whether globalization is still increasing, decreasing, weakening or changing.
However, great uncertainty is recognized about the continued development of globalization, which is of great importance not least for agriculture and the entire agricultural sector. The purpose of the article is thus to assess the historical and present globalization trends in the agricultural sector, and to identify possible new future trends.
Regarding the entire global economy, the past decade has been characterized by constant globalization (slowbalization or deglobalization), and we are now well below the long-term trend. When it comes to the agricultural and food industry, in the same period there has been an
increasing globalization, but a weakening after 2020. Parallel to this, the trend shows increasing foreign direct investments, which are now the biggest source of globalization. It is found that although the long-term trend indicates a continued increase in globalization, a number of specific political conditions and factors can send globalization back in the short or long term.
