13.08.2024: New publication on state-farmer relations
A new open access article by Pascal Grohmann and Peter H. Feindt was published on 13 August 2024 in the Journal of Rural Studies. The authors have analysed how changes to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) affect the role of farmers in society. Using the implementation of direct payments in the CAP for 2023 to 2027 as an example, the study shows that the increasing linkage of income support in the CAP to categorical and behavioural conditions is realigning the relationship between the state and farmers.
