Reforming Agri-Food Policies: Dynamics and Policy Change

Abstract

Agricultural and food policies have been subject to reform over the last three decades. Changed priorities within civil society, increased mobilization of, and access for, a wider range of interests with respect to food governance, along with multiple sustainability crises in agricultures, have been suggested as the drivers of reform. Moreover, current reform dynamics have to deal with increasing nationalist sentiments and geo-political considerations, such as international crises which make food yet again a strategic product. Under this sub-topic, this Panel welcomes Papers addressing reform dynamics in past and ongoing reform efforts: How can we explain elements of continuity and change? How do experiences with previous policies feed back into current reform dynamics?
