Acknowledging the challenges and opportunities raised by Brexit for
the agrifood supply chain and agricultural policies across the UK,
this book provides the first in-depth analysis of agricultural
policy developments across the UK's four nations rooted in strong
theoretical and practical underpinnings. Arguing that the four
nations could be more ambitious in departing from the Common
Agricultural Policy and extending beyond the 'public money for
public goods' approach adopted across the UK, it critiques the core
attributes of their policies with focuses including the debate over
outcome-based schemes, governance mechanisms, impacts on farm
diversity and path dependency on the Common Agricultural Policy and
English approaches. It promotes a 'resilient agriculture' paradigm
and utilises social-ecological services, net zero, agroecology and
agri-food democracy as the main pathways to achieve this. In doing
so, it scrutinises the evolving contextual, political and legal
landscape within which devolved and UK agricultural policies are
developing from a multilevel governance perspective, examining the
implications of WTO law for the UK and its devolved administrations
to determine environmental, food and animal welfare standards under
the GATT, the SPS and TBT Agreements and financial support schemes
under the Agreement on Agriculture. The book assesses the
significance of the Northern Ireland Protocol, the Trade and
Cooperation Agreement with the EU and other free trade agreements
for standards across the UK and access to markets. From a domestic
perspective, challenges to devolution and the stability of the
Union are highlighted. Elements of unilateral recentralisation are
visible via financing mechanisms, the UK Internal Market Act and
the Agriculture Act. The book's interdisciplinary nature makes it
of interest to lawyers, political scientists, economists, human
geographers and scientists, as well as policymakers, agricultural
communities, civil society organisations and think tanks in the
devolved administrations, the UK, the EU and beyond.
