In July of 2021, the president signed an executive order aimed at increasing competition in the meatpacking industry. An official statement from the White House reports that the current administration "will dedicate $1 billion in American Rescue Plan funds for expansion of independent [meat] processing capacity." (WhiteHouse.gov)
Today's video will provide a brief explanation of the independent meatpacking sector, a brief explanation of the $1 BILLION Rescue Plan for the independent meat packing sector, finally evaluating the historical effects of subsidies in the agricultural industry to get a deeper look at what it means when a government begins to fund an industry.
