“…The EU thus sets broad frameworks identifying common objectives but member states essentially decide how they are to pursue them. Given that nearly half the land surface of the European Union is farmed, it is inevitable that agriculture is an object of much EU and national environmental policy (Lowe and Baldock 2000; Buller et al . 2000).…”

“…National governments have tended to line up in one of two camps – favouring either economic liberalization or protection of agricultural market supports. This in turn depends up whether or not their essential national interest in agriculture is seen as that of a key export sector or as an important domestic sector that helps maintain rural areas, and whether or not they are net financial beneficiaries or funders of the CAP (Lowe et al . 2000; Thurston 2002).…”

In response to wide-ranging criticism of agricultural policy, especially within Western industrialized countries, new frameworks of justification are emerging and new hybrid policy fields have been established to tackle some of the ‘externalities’ of agricultural support. However, institutional frameworks are proving slower to change, partly because this would require coordinated action across different levels of governance. Nevertheless, previously marginalized environmental concerns have successfully gained entrance to agricultural policy networks, while the intersection of trade liberalization and rural diversification have undermined the dominance of the productivist mindset in government. This gives rise to a plurality of policy actors and actions which defy the conventional categories of analysis of agricultural policy, calling for changing frameworks on the polity of agriculture too.

“…It challenges those well-established interrelationships that developed during the last century, which made agriculture into a strongly subsidized sector, without much influence from society over decision making. In this sense agriculture is strongly separated or segmented from other parts of society (Daugbjerg 1998;Lowe et al 2000;Winter 1996). The development of organic farming seen from the perspective of changing interrelationships between society and agriculture and between different types of farming forms the basis for this special issue of Sociologia Ruralis.…”

Recent Development and Political Acceptance of Organic Farming in Europe

Organic farming has experienced a major break through in Europe during the 1990s. The suggestion here, is to see it as an implantation of post‐modernist values into agriculture and as representing a break in the agriculture self‐rule,which developed during the 20th century. This rather unusual situation needs an open theoretical framework. Such a framework is suggested. It focuses on institutionalization and combines institutional theory with social movement theory and theory of coalition making. The need for a non‐deterministic view on organic farming development is further justified by referring to a comparative analysis of the development of organic farming in eighteen European countries. It emphasizes the need for a distinct organic farming identity and suggests that the growth in European organic farming is neither explained by political support nor by pure market forces. Rather organic farming growth is promoted through a continuous series of initiatives originating in different parts of society.
