Not American but doesn't the US government subsidize the meat and dairy industries? Could definitely start with lessening or doing away with that.

It's not just the US. Canada does it too, and i expect many other countries do as well. But yes, this is a great place to start, along with rolling back the trillions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies.
