To be added to the "United States" section:

The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, also known as the 2002 Farm Bill, addressed a great variety of issues related to agriculture, ecology, energy, trade, and nutrition. Signed after the September 11th attacks of 2001, the act directs approximately 16.5 billions dollars of government funding toward agricultural subsidies each year. This funding has had a great effect of the production of grains, oilseeds, and upland cotton.

Talk about benefits surrounding agricultural subsidies to the economy.

- You need to expand your info on urban food desserts

- Sounds a little biased?

- Include more quantitative data

- Overall you're on a good track, just needs more work

'''Could use more details. Create a strong lead and ensure that your information is unbiased. Find more articles to cite and create a more detailed section.'''

What I feel like needs to be added/edited on Agricultural subsidy page

 * 1) Add a Caribbean section to the "By Region" section
 * 2) There's very minimal information about Asian farm subsidies, must be expounded upon

China
In 2018, China increased their subsidies for soybean farmers in their northeastern provinces. Corn farmers, however, received reduced subsidies due to Beijing's 2017 policy that set out to reduce its huge stockpile. Soybean farmers in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Inner Mongolia provinces will receive more subsidies from Beijing than corn farmers. The cutting of corn acreage and the lifting of soybean acreage came in 2016 as a push from China to re-balance grain stocks. Subsidies for agriculture machinery and equipment will also be provided by Beijing to farmers.

Indonesia
In 1971, as a method of expanding the rice supply in Indonesia, the government began subsidizing fertilizer to farmers after the discovery and introduction of new, high-yielding rice varieties.
