The Guardian (UK), in an article on climate change and farm subsidies, detailed the results of a new report from the Food and Land Use Coalition. The subsidy analysis in the report was performed by IFPRI. The Report found that the cost of the damage currently caused by agriculture is greater than the value of the food produced, and that only around 15 percent of government support is for public goods. Payments must be redirected to measures such as capturing carbon.
