The 2016 referendum resulted in a vote for the United Kingdom to
withdraw from the European Union. This has led to frenzied
political debate across the whole spectrum of policy, and
agriculture is no exception. For the first time in a generation,
the future of agriculture is unclear and unfettered by the
constraints and incrementalism of the Common Agricultural Policy.
This book makes an empirical contribution to the Brexit debate,
bringing a social dimension to agri-Brexit and sustainable
agriculture discourses. Understanding the social in the context of
farmers is vital to developing a way forward on food security and
agricultural sustainability. Farmers are the recipients of the
market and policy signals that link to global uncertainties and
challenges. This book is a commitment to understanding farmers as
occupiers and managers of land. Chapters in this book explore
farmers' own aspirations and knowledge about patterns of land use
and production, which underpin discussions around the environment
and sustainability. There is a deficit in understanding what kind
of agricultural industry we now have, following years of
restructuring and repositioning. This book is an attempt to address
that deficit and will appeal to students and researchers exploring
agriculture, food politics and rural sociology.
