Yes, farmers are important and I am supportive of most welfare programs for the poor. I would regulate the subsidies to prevent abuse.

Yes, but only for crop farms, instead of constantly padding the profits of beef and dairy farmers to neglect their livestock, while those growing the actual food are abandoned.

Yes, subsidise small, local farmers, and/or farmers who are prioritising sustainable practices and agriculture, and generally subsidise as a temporary measure to stabilise prices

Yes, but not to cotton farmers as they caused the droughts we are currently facing with their inexcusable use of river water while also playing the water market like a stock exchange oh and Barnaby Joyce giving 120% more money to cotton farmers for a fraction of the water required the the amount of money (tl:dr yes but not to cotton farmers)

 @8ZRGJR3Liberalanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, in keeping with economic reality, and subsidisation levels of other industries.

 @8ZLMKPHanswered…2yrs2Y

As long as they a owned by Australians. Not owned for example by India but have an Australia manager running the farm

 @8Z855C3Laboranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but they have to commit to being sustainable, and economical ie replanting paddocks etc to help erosion and changing what they grow with the areas climate. Ie just because granddad grew cotton, if the pesticides are polluting the towns water, switching to another crop

 @8M5Y6ZSanswered…3yrs3Y

Australia’s government should push for a return to the ways of the First Nation people and their approach to agriculture

 @8H5SJ68answered…3yrs3Y

Yes but try to remove subsidies through comprehensive free-trade agreements. The government should also ensure that a national capacity to be self-sufficient is maintained and that supply chains are sufficiently diverse.

No, farmers with unsustainable business models should be able to access support to reform their operations to be feasible.
