New Report on US Farm Subsidies
New Report on US Farm Subsidies. By the Environmental Working Group (EWG, September 2003). According to new data and analyses on EWG’s updated Farm Subsidy Database website, the biggest American farmers received 71 percent of U.S. farm subsidies since 1995. The Environmental Working Group, a Washington-based activist organisation, has released its report as the World Trade Organisation is meeting in Mexico to discuss how to cut farm subsidies in rich nations, which spend a combined $300 billion annually on their growers.
