For many decades debates about the future of developed world
agriculture policy have been dominated by a long political conflict
between European/multifunctional policy regimes and the global
trend towards trade liberalisation. The stalemate that had emerged
between these two positions by 2000 has now been dramatically
reconfigured. This book argues that there are four reasons why this
area of policy has now reopened to wider debate: The World Food
Crisis of 2008-2011 has signalled a potential end to the era of
cheap food. The emergence of climate change as a core policy
concern has shifted key targets for agricultural policy. New trends
towards 'neo-productivist' agricultural policy have emerged to
challenge multifunctional approaches to agriculture. New academic
ideas around resilience of food chains and relevant policy
interventions have challenged established approaches to achieving
agricultural sustainability. Through international case studies,
this book evaluates how these new policy challenges are having an
impact on specific agricultural policy regimes, and what future
lessons might be learnt from key policy experiments around
neoliberalism and multifunctionality.
