This book presents a thorough analysis of the innovative food commons
approach in relation to the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The
debates surrounding this pivotal European policy have always been
robust, and with the ambitious targets outlined by the UN Sustainable
Development Goals and the European Green Deal, they are poised to
become even more prominent. To effectively realize these objectives,
it is imperative to systematically reassess the fundamental structures
of our food systems and enact substantive reforms within EU agri-food
law and policymaking. The food commons approach represents not only a
novel theoretical framework, but also, and foremost, a dynamic
socio-political movement that has garnered attention from both
researchers and policymakers due to its pioneering nature. Rejecting
the prevailing paradigm of absolute commodification of food, this
approach endeavours to reconceptualize our food systems through the
prisms of ecology, social inclusion, collective governance, and
resilience. The overarching objective of this book is to scrutinize
the potential of this novel approach to fundamentally reshape the
theoretical underpinnings of EU agri-food law, ultimately facilitating
the realization of more sustainable and just food systems. The target
audience of this book mainly consists of academic researchers, but
also practitioners and policymakers working on agricultural and
environmental studies, due to its interdisciplinary approach and the
originality of its content. Along the same lines, the book will appeal
to NGOs, indigenous peoples, and food sovereignty movements around the
world.
