Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
| Title: | Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) | | Author: | Khan, Mafruza | | Date Published: | October 1, 2003 | | Source: | Corporate Research Project | | PDF: |  | | Abstract: | Commissioned by the National Family Farm Coalition, this paper argues persuasively that livestock producer associations dominated by the influence of big agribusiness companies are turning the Environmental Quality Incentives Program from the 2002 Farm Bill into a massive new subsidy program for Confined Animal Feeding Operations -- thereby violating the intent of a program that should have challenged these unsustainable operations that drive smaller scale producers out of business. |
