Postdoc on the Politics of EU Sustainable Agricultural and Food Policies
Offer DescriptionThe Department of Sustainable Development is seeking an enthusiastic and research-dedicated postdoctoral researcher in the politics of EU sustainable agricultural and food policies to join our team.Your job
European food systems are highly productive but also face substantial sustainability challenges, including ongoing biodiversity loss, water pollution, and the emission of greenhouse gases. The European Commission has therefore high ambitions regarding food system transformation towards sustainability, as outlined in for instance the Farm to Fork strategy. However, lobby and farmer protests have contributed to a watering down of ambitions. At the same time, it appears to be very hard to increase sustainability objectives in the EU Common Agricultural Policy, which, because of its high budget, has a strong influence on the agricultural sector. And whereas the agricultural sector has a substantial impact on water quality, the implementation of mitigating measures by farmers is largely voluntary under the EU Water Framework Directive.The questions you will research are, for example: What explains this lack of policy integration and policy coherence regarding agricultural sustainability? What explains the persistence of this situation, and, moreover, what is needed to break through patterns of policy disintegration and incoherence, in order to effectively address sustainability challenges associated with European food systems?The tasks will involve:
