    Subsidizing home farming isn’t really possible with our current society, and not subsidizing industrial farming could be disastrous and lead to famine. The subsidies guarantee that food options will be available at all times.

      New Zealand stopped subsidizing farmers, and survives. So we have at least one data point showing that it is possible.

        New Zealand only grows meat and most of it goes to export. Growing veggies is not effective in general.

      It does say “yield and cost effectiveness” in the picture, so I’m not emphasizing on availability, but discussing just that.
