Status[?]: passed

Description[?]:
| This bill proposes to modify the existing agricultural subsidy policy to redirect state funds towards businesses that follow sustainable agricultural practices. As drought and soil erosion remain one of the greatest threats posed by climate change in the form of threatening future food reserves, our party believes it is imperative we direct our resources in a manner that is future-focused: ensuring Saridan's food security. The ministries responsible for food and agriculture, environment and tourism, science and technology, and trade and industry shall work together on forming standards for sustainable practices, along with working with experts in the farming industry to come up with these best practices. |
