Bill: Strong Agriculture bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Aloria United
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2123
Description[?]:
| Farmers who require subsidisation are not competitive enough, and all we are doing is temporarily keeping them afloat. Many country's farmers have no subsidisation and have a thriving agricultural sector. An incentive should be provided to those farmers that improve the local biosphere and state's ecological safety, also. |

Old value:: The government subsidises agriculture based on market demand for the crop being grown.
Current: The government allows local governments to craft agricultural subsidy policy.
