The topic of food production and consumption can be viewed from a variety of sociological perspectives. One point of view focuses on large corporations that rely on cheap labor (often seasonal, migrant labor) to maximize their profits. This point of view is most aligned with which sociological theory?

The social conflict theory paints the society as one that is divided into a system of groups that are not equal. This results in conflicts between the various groups.

Considering the case in the question, two groups can clearly be identified. these are:

1. The large corporations, ( representing the rich and wealthy in the society)

2. The poor immigrant laborers who are easily dispatch able

Itemizing these two groups clearly show the economic inequalities that exist between them. As a result of this large economic inequality, conflicts erupt between the two groups as the oppressed clamor for their economic rights, while the oppressors continue to abuse them to make more profits.

Hence the point of view in question is mostly aligned with the social conflict theory.
