This clearly illustrates the problem with land-based subsidies. If payments scale mainly with how much land you control, the biggest owners will keep winning, even when the money ends up benefiting foreign state-linked investors instead of ordinary European farmers

is this not true for all executive leadership of farms that get subsidies? If you want to tie it to executive pay than do so but dont pretend that this isnt how it's supposed to work
