“…It is therefore not surprising that a research literature has emerged in situations where it is difficult – or sometimes practically impossible – to formulate good policy. The article by Horst W. J. Rittel and Melvin M. Webber, ‘Dilemmas in a general theory of planning’ ( Rittel and Webber, 1973 ) marked the start of a long lasting research tradition addressing various wicked problems in many sectors ( Head, 2019 ), including agricultural policy ( Kuhmonen, 2018 ; Morath, 2015 ). Wicked problems share several characteristics, e.g., that they are complex, cannot be formulated unambiguously, solutions can never be defined as right or wrong, only more or less good.…”

“…Not least, the understanding of the nature of wicked problems is largely dependent on the solution envisaged. Taken together, this means that: ‘[w]icked problems escape simple and final solutions and form an interconnected “jam”, where each resolution generates a cascade of new problems and collateral damages’ ( Kuhmonen, 2018 , p. 683).…”

Highlights The goal structure in agricultural policy may be seen as a certain type of wicked problem – a policy trilemma. Agricultural policy trilemmas are situations where two of three goals contradict the third. The case study of Norwegian agricultural policy demonstrates the analytical fruitfulness of the concept of the “agricultural policy trilemma”.

“…The CAP problems are analyzed by Kuhmonen, using the methodology of system dynamics in charts of causal loops [93]. The categorization of 303 listed problems to be addressed in the future by CAP has led to 22 key problems under specific areas (social environment, spatial planning, politics, markets, agriculture).…”

The current article details the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), particularly the impact of each CAP reform on agricultural production and the rural economy in the region of Eastern Macedonia-Thrace (EMT), Greece, done via an econometric approach employing Factor Analysis techniques and Structural Equation Model. Detailed qualitative and quantitative data were obtained through structured questionnaires completed during in-depth interviews of the scientific staff working in regional agriculture and were subsequently used to build a Structural Equation Model. This scientific work was undertaken twice, each time following successive CAP reforms, in order to evaluate immediate impact, not only on the Local Economy, but the continuing regional Local Development. Following the comparison of the two successive reforms SEMs, a series of sectoral comparisons of the two reforms was undertaken to clarify the differences between the two specific reforms.It is concluded that the 2003 reform has had a negative impact on the local EMT economy compared to the 2014 reform, which appears to have contributed more favourably to the local economy and regional development, with Land Value-Purchase, Land Value-Hire, Product processing, Labour hands (harvesting, standardization, packaging etc) and Purchase of inputs (pesticides, fertilizers, supplies, etc.) being the local economy sectors that have responded positively to the second reform.

“…As pointed out by Kuhmonen (2018) and White (2017), the CAP has become a complicated policy. Since the emergence of the CAP, the number of Member States has increased from 6 to 28, with different farming conditions and agricultural development levels in the Member States.…”

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has considerably contributed to changes in the rural environment of Latvia after its accession to the European Union (EU). The accession provided new opportunities and considerable financial support for agriculture, yet the competition of farms under the conditions determined by the CAP has changed the composition of final agricultural output in Latvia. As the number of EU Member States increased and the CAP became more complicated, an increasing role in defending the interests of farmers is played by farmer organisations.
