The practice has been used before by the city — to fund the 7 train extension towards Hudson Yards, for example — but would have a markedly different impact on the city if controlled by the state. (ny.curbed.com)
This support can take the form of more reliable and localised weather forecasts, subsidies for inputs, well - trained extension workers, better facilities for livestock health, well - funded agricultural research, and improved rural infrastructure such as road networks. (irinnews.org)
