Farmers subsidies in the US arent an issue either: the US cant bring down subsidies before the EU does it. Farmers subsidies in the EU are higher, and they should be decreased. There have been talks for years now and it doesnt seem there is any progress. I dont know why. It seems like the EU is scared of importing food.
Producing your own food is a strategic concern. Nothing makes you quite so vulnerable as not producing enough food for your entire population. Even if you're the richest nation on earth.
