Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term "agribusiness" refers to a concept radically different from the traditional farm. It can be a specialized small-or large-scale farming business or it can be a firm that provides the inputs and services(for ex. seed, credit, etc.), processes the output(for ex. milk, grain, meat, etc.), manufactures the food products(for ex. ice cream, bread, breakfast cereals, etc.), or transports and sells the food products to consumers(for ex. restaurants, supermarkets, etc.). This concept may also include agro-industrial firms that manufacture machinery, equipment, pesticides, etc. 6, record 1, English, - agribusiness

Le concept d'«agroentreprise», ou d'«agrinégoce», est radicalement différent de celui de la ferme traditionnelle. Il couvre les entreprises agricoles spécialisées de petite ou grande envergure, mais il s'agit le plus souvent d'une macro-entreprise agricole de type industriel. Ce concept peut également comprendre les firmes agro-industrielles qui manufacturent la machinerie et l'équipement agricoles, les pesticides, etc. 4, record 1, French, - agroentreprise

Once the gelly is sufficiently firm, the curd is sliced up by means of the "curd knife"(a tool equipped with wires spaced apart) and this provokes the separation of the curds and the lactoserum("the whey"). The duration and the speed of the decurdling process affects the size of the grain(about that of a pea). Once the slicing up process is completed, the resulting mixture will be stirred within the vat until the grain is sufficiently drained... 5, record 2, English, - curd%20knife
