In the EU, farmers are often getting paid to destroy their production if it exceeds specified quotas. Whether it is milk, cotton, peaches or grapes => they'll end up in some landfill.
There are even subsidies to cut down trees, kill your animals etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Agricultural_PolicyProduction quotas and 'set-aside' payments were introduced in an effort to prevent overproduction of some foods (for example, milk, grain, wine) that attracted subsidies well in excess of market prices.
The need to store and dispose of excess produce was wasteful of resources and brought the CAP into disrepute. A secondary market evolved, especially in the sale of milk quotas, while some farmers made imaginative use of 'set-aside', for example, setting aside land that was difficult to farm.
So what exactly do you find so appealing about the current blockspace production quota? Do you think miners need income protection like the EU diary farmers did? The EU has abolished the milk quota. Will Core abolish the blockspace quota?
