{{Short description|Dutch trade union}}
The '''Industrial Union of Agriculture and Food''' ({{langx|nl|Algemene Bedrijfsbond Voedings- en Genotmiddelen}}, ABVG) was a [[trade union]] representing workers in the farming and food processing industries in the Netherlands.
The union was founded in 1970, when the [[General Dutch Industrial Union of Agriculture]] merged with the [[General Union of the Food and Stimulant Industries]].  Like both its predecessors, it affiliated to the [[Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions]] (NVV).  In 1976, it formed a federation with the [[Catholic Union of Agriculture, Food and Tobacco]] (AVG).<ref name="vhv">{{cite web |title=Cees Schelling – Meer pragmaticus dan drammer |url=https://www.vakbondshistorie.nl/dossiers/cees-schelling-meer-pragmaticus-dan-drammer/ |website=VHV |accessdate=12 October 2020}}</ref><ref name="ebbinghaus">{{cite book |last1=Ebbinghaus |first1=Bernhard |last2=Visser |first2=Jelle |title=Trade Unions in Western Europe Since 1945 |date=2000 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |location=Basingstoke |isbn=0333771125 |pages=463&ndash;467}}</ref>
By 1980, the union had 31,591 members.  Later in the year, it merged fully with the AVG, to form the [[Food Workers' Union]].<ref name="ebbinghaus" />
