Stop subsidizing the things that hurt the planet. Everything. Oil and meat/milk alike.

When for production of 1000kJ of food you need 120m2 of land to produce beef vs. 1m2 of land to produce beans/peas, the unsubsidized market would take care of the problem. Let the capitalism work for us for once ;)

Subsidies are critical for a sovereign state to maintain control over its lands and people. If there were a food shortage, like in Sri Lanka, people would revolt.
