The correct answer is Option A ((a) and (b)).

Key Points:
• Corporate farming refers to agricultural production managed by large commercial business entities or corporations.
• Statement (a) is correct: Corporate farming involves corporate ownership or leased control of large tracts of farmland, intensive capital use, mechanized production, and commercial marketing/selling of agricultural produce.
• Statement (b) is correct: Large agribusiness corporations exert significant influence on agricultural research, specialized education funding, and agricultural public policy/lobbying.
• Statement (c) is incorrect: Corporate farming is typically associated with large-scale industrial monoculture, intensive chemical use, and global supply chains, whereas sustainable agriculture and local food movements are conceptually driven by organic farmers, smallholders, and community-supported agriculture (CSA), making statement (c) false.
• Therefore, only (a) and (b) are correct, making option (1) the right choice.
• Key Takeaway: Corporate farming involves corporate land ownership/management and policy influence, but is distinct from sustainable local food movements.
