Some of the consequences of the industrial food chain as explained in the book, is the fact that the companies providing the fertilziers, seeds, etc for farmers are raising their prices to the point that it is very hard for the farmers to get what they need and if they try to farm the "traditional old fashion way" they will not make enough corn/crops which means no income for them, which is what they use to clothe themselves and feed themselves. Another consequence of the industrial food chain is that some companies want to "own" corn so the farmers have to ask them first before planting it.
Which is sort of rediculous and will lead to issues because those companies wanting to literally own the crop wouldn't be able to keep track of all those farms all at once.
