Addressing Climate Risks in Agriculture: A Post-Exceptionalist Perspective on Policy Change

Abstract

The food sector is simultaneously a producer of greenhouse gas emissions, a source of climate change remediation, and a sector uniquely vulnerable to climate risks. Yet, agricultural policies are often resistant or slow to adopt sustainable practices. This tension is a product of post-exceptionalism, where both old and new ideas, institutions, interests and policy instruments coexist. Papers in this panel conceptualize this partial transformation process to better understand the politics of agricultural transitions.
