I’m pleased to see this sort of policy research happening. Thank you.
This category doesn’t seem to fit into the taxonomy you set out, but I’d be interested in subsidies for practices which:
(a) improve animal welfare
(b) are profit-neutral (or even actually more profitable) for farmers
I understand that such things exist (perhaps when it comes to fish welfare, and maybe other animals too?) -- this isn’t my area though.
Such subsidies have the advantage that they are more likely to lead to adoption, and are less prone to political whims (e.g. if a new goverment removes the subsidy, farmers are unlikely to undo the practice).
