Understanding the ramifications of agricultural subsidies is crucial for developing sound economic policies that support farmers while ensuring market health. Evaluating both intended and unintended consequences of subsidization will be examined.

Candidates will be required to articulate the theoretical underpinnings of subsidies and their practical impacts on agricultural efficiency and growth. This will involve critical analysis and evaluation skills.

Discussions may also include alternative support mechanisms and their potential effectiveness compared to traditional subsidy models.
