Description: An integrated framework for evaluating whether agricultural
    support measures reach smallholders, women farmers and resource-poor
    regions, and at what productivity and environmental cost. It provides
    survey-weighted benefit incidence analysis by landholding class, gender,
    region or income quantile; concentration, Kakwani and Reynolds-Smolensky
    progressivity measures (Kakwani, 1977) <doi:10.2307/2230485> with
    bootstrap confidence intervals; multi-dimensional equity scorecards with
    parity ratios and Theil decomposition of benefit inequality; effects of
    subsidies on income inequality and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty
    (Foster, Greer and Thorbecke, 1984) <doi:10.2307/1913475>;
    budget-neutral reallocation of a subsidy budget under alternative
    allocation rules, including a welfare-optimal allocation that combines
    diminishing productivity returns, Atkinson (1970)
    <doi:10.1016/0022-0531(70)90039-6> inequality aversion and
    environmental damage costs; and productivity-equity-sustainability
    trade-off frontiers. Simulated farm-household data illustrate the
    workflow.
