#Agriculture Policy

Agricultural policy is the ritual of promising to protect food production while actually inflating the support bases of politicians. Official announcements herald bountiful harvests, yet in practice they trap farmers in a maze of subsidies and regulations. Slogans roar about a verdant future, but allocated funds vanish into spreadsheets and bureaucratic ledgers. Farmers end up waiting for aid while having their livelihoods shaped to fit political frameworks. Ultimately, the only harvest these policies reap is at election time.
