Government Subsidies for Animal Agriculture

Animal agriculture receives massive government support through multiple mechanisms. In addition to propping up prices, subsidies take Americans’ tax money and give it to animal farmers directly, and indirectly by subsidizing animal feed crops much more than fruits and vegetables:

Direct Subsidies

USDA livestock subsidies top $72B

Indirect Subsidies

Why Your Salad Costs More than a Burger: The Truth About Government Subsidization of the Meat & Dairy Industries

Public Lands Grazing

Grazing is subsidized by allowing livestock on public lands at a fraction of market cost.
