Flashcards
0/20
European Union and Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
CAP involves direct payments to farmers and market measures, promoting food security, and maintaining rural areas, but has faced criticism for favoring larger entities and impacting the environment.
India and Minimum Support Price (MSP)
MSP is guaranteed by the government for certain crops, intended to secure farmer incomes and encourage agricultural production, though it can result in market imbalances.
Brazil and Agricultural Credit Programs
Brazil provides low-interest loans to farmers to improve production and invest in new technologies, promoting agricultural growth but potentially increasing deforestation risk.
China and Minimum Purchase Price
China sets a floor price for key staples like rice and wheat to protect farmers' incomes and encourages self-sufficiency, but it may lead to overproduction and waste.
USA and Farm Bill Subsidies
This policy supports farmers through commodity programs, crop insurance, and conservation incentives, helping stabilize farm income and encouraging sustainable practices.
France and Agri-Environmental Schemes (AES)
AES in France offers financial incentives for environmentally friendly farming practices to preserve biodiversity and landscapes, transforming farming toward sustainability.
Netherlands and Manure Management Regulations
Strict manure regulations in the Netherlands aim to reduce environmental pollution from intensive livestock operations, encouraging sustainable farming but constraining expansion.
Turkey and Agricultural Insurance Pool (TARSIM)
TARSIM provides a range of insurance products against natural risks to crops and livestock, enhancing resilience but potentially creating a dependency on state support.
South Africa and Land Redistribution Programs
South Africa aims to provide greater land ownership to previously disadvantaged groups through redistribution, leading to social equity but posing challenges for agricultural productivity.
USA and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)
CRP pays farmers to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production and improve plant cover, enhancing environmental quality but reducing total farmland.
Russia and Agriculture Investment Subsidies
Russia offers subsidies for investing in agricultural machinery and modernization, which improves efficiency but may favor larger farms over smaller ones.
Australia and Drought Support Programs
Australia's programs assist farmers during droughts with financial support, counseling, and resources for water infrastructure, helping to manage climate impacts but sometimes prolonging unviable farming.
Argentina and Export Tax Rebates
Argentina's export tax rebate system for agricultural products aims to incentivize production for export, but may lead to economic distortions and over-reliance on certain crops like soy.
Vietnam and High-tech Agriculture Program
Supporting high-tech applications in agriculture, this program aims to enhance productivity and sustainability, but requires significant investment and farmer training.
Canada and Supply Management System
Canada's system controls production and price for dairy, poultry, and eggs, ensuring stable farmer income and supply, but it restricts competition and keeps prices higher for consumers.
Kenya and Fertilizer Subsidy Program
Kenya subsidizes fertilizer to boost agricultural productivity and food security. This improves yields but may lead to environmental degradation if not managed properly.
Japan and Rice Subsidy Program
Japan maintains strict controls over rice production, through subsidies and production targets, ensuring income for local farmers but keeping consumer prices high.
Egypt and Bread Subsidy Program
By subsidizing bread, Egypt aims to ensure affordability for its population, but such subsidies can strain government budgets and dampen agricultural market signals.
Mexico and Procampo
Procampo provides direct cash payments to farmers growing staple crops, aiming to modernize agriculture and combat poverty but risking dependency on government aid.
Germany and Renewable Energy from Biomass Support
Germany incentivizes the production of energy crops for biomass, promoting renewable energy but competing with food crops for land use and attention.
