Glocalization is also occurring within the agricultural sphere. One case brought up by of this has been in [[Soybean|soy]] farming. Previously,{{when|date=January 2023}} there were numerous small-scale soy farms along the east coast of the US.<ref name=":5">Ofstehage, A.L., 2018. Financialization of work, value, and social organization among transnational soy farmers in the Brazilian Cerrado. ''Economic Anthropology'', ''5''(2), pp.274-285.</ref> However, as larger corporations outcompeted smaller ones, attentions have been turned abroad. Anthropologist Andrew Ofstehage refers to this change from small, personal farms to large corporate ones as an aspect of "financialization". Ofstehage expands on this concept by giving the example of the current soy market in Brazil. As financialization has led to land being more expensive and harder to come by in the states, farmers have turned their attention abroad. This farm crisis in the US was a result of increasingly large corporate farms driving out small family farms and acquiring more and more land. Due to this, farmers both new and experienced who are privileged to have capital or investors, have turned their attention abroad.<ref name=":5" /> Many have begun to invest in Brazilian land to grow soy with the money from friends, investors, neighbors, or savings. These transnational farmers have had great success but as more farmers have followed these steps the cycle has begun anew. Looking to further expand, farmers often take three paths for further profit and financialization.<ref name=":5" /> They either sell their Brazilian farms to a new hopeful farmer, or they keep their farm but return to the states to manage it internationally, or they truly begin anew. Specifically, the farmers sell their Brazilian land and turn [[Piauí]] or [[Tocantins]], places where soy grows well, and land is still cheap.<ref name=":5" />
