"The bulk of U.S. farming subsidies go to only 4 percent of farms — overwhelmingly large and corporate operations... Instead of supporting factory farms and mono-crops, we could provide incentives for crop rotations, reduced usage of pesticides and herbicides, pasture-raised meat, and organic practices. Expanding the market for food farmed sustainably and ethically grown would benefit all consumers."
