Over-dependence on farm subsidies


  • Over-subsidized agriculture
  • Excessive subsidies to farmers

Claim

  1. Many farmers find themselves driven into a position where they make minimal income (average £8,500 in the UK), are undertaking practices that they find distasteful and no longer command widespread respect from society. The public distrust of agriculture, especially following BSE, has led to cynicism over stated benefits of new developments, as seen most dramatically in the response to GM crops.
