The references I've indicated for "agri-food" are for the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization). I'd say that's a solid reference.

  -> Gracies Pasqual, que tinguis un bon dia.
neutral  Berni Armstrong: Personally I find this ugly. It gets 14,500 hits on Google though. However Agro-Food gets a quarter of a million. (That's ugly too IMHO ;-) )

agree  Berni Armstrong: PROVISO: Any of those sites English originals Ross? Otherwise we risk spreading ugly coined terms from other translations. I'd stick with your first option.
