- Title
Small Family Farms and Natural Disasters: Natural Disasters Disproportionately Hurt Small Farms, but Should the Government Care?
- Authors
Gough, Luisa Lloyd
- Abstract
The article discusses U.S. federal government aid for family farms in the aftermath of natural disasters, and it mentions reforms to America's Federal Crop Insurance Program, as well as the disparate impacts of disasters on family farms as compared to corporate farms. A debate about whether it is financially responsible for the U.S. government to provide economic support to family farms is examined, along with farms-related financial losses and environmental damage.
