Series: Routledge Research in Competition Law

Through a detailed law-and-policy analysis, this book investigates competition law and policy in relation to agricultural producers, examining the topic in light of both the neoliberal agricultural policy and food sovereignty paradigms, with a focus on their differing approaches to competition and sustainability.

This book addresses the increasing pressures faced by agricultural producers, stemming from two major developments: the shift towards neoliberal economic policies in agri-food markets, and the growing recognition of the agricultural sector’s role in environmental degradation due to unsustainable practices. These developments have provoked protests from farmers and prompted critical questions about how different agricultural and competition policy theories navigate the complex relationship between competition, agriculture and sustainability. By conceptualising the connections between each topic, the book comprehensively analyses their interdependence. While competition law experts frequently overlook the realities of the agricultural sector, agricultural scholars may not fully grasp the objectives of competition law. By bridging these divides, the book provides an integrated understanding of competition and agricultural policy, also with a particular focus on sustainability.

This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of agricultural law and policy, and competition law and policy, as well as those interested in sustainability.

Reviews for Agriculture, Sustainability and Competition Law: Policy Paradigms and Their Legal Implications

In an area of vivid interaction between the EU and the national and regional levels, Martin Milán Csirszki provides a sharp analysis of the sustainability goal in the interface between agricultural law and competition law. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in EU and comparative economic law. Bert Keirsbilck, Professor, KU Leuven, Belgium Csirszki’s highly reflective, comparative, and comprehensive study on agricultural and competition policy objectives in a sustainable development setting is worth reading. Challenging a ‘more-economic approach’, this book suggests a novel food sovereignty-based take on agri-food cases and markets where agricultural objectives inform the application of antitrust law. Agriculture, Sustainability and Competition Law: Policy Paradigms and Their Legal Implications will inform the sustainable agriculture regulatory policy debate for years to come.
