Big farmers grab the lion’s share of US government support, and recent cuts have chipped away at small growers’ markets and margins
The most significant food system failure since the pandemic was not a natural disaster: in October, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap) was temporarily suspended for the month of November due to the government shutdown
