Voting green, or not
Substantive agri-environmental policy change has not materialized within EU agri-food governance despite emerging scientific consensus on the need for food system transformation. Agri-environmental legislative proposals often face strong resistance, resulting in their weakening or reversal. Although the challenges to adopting agri-environmental legislations are clear, existing analytical tools fall short in explaining why legislative rollbacks oc…
Running in circles? Environmental policy entrepreneurs and the resilience of agricultural exceptionalism in the post-2013 and post-2020 CAP reforms
The EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is among its most contested policies, criticised for incremental changes despite fundamental challenges. Recent scholarship suggests a partial shift in the sector's governance from agricultural exceptionalism towards post-exceptionalism – marked by the emergence of actors seeking more fundamental policy change. Yet, post-exceptionalism scholarship remains unclear regarding who these contesting actors are,…
Configurations of leverage points for the deliberate acceleration of ideal-type transition pathways in the EU food system
The complexity of the EU food system poses a significant challenge to the transition towards sustainable and healthy food consumption, as interdependent factors reproduce stable social structures that resist change. The concept of leverage points (LPs) helps identify strategic intervention points to stimulate system change. However, focusing on individual LPs often entails trade-offs between transformative feasibility and depth. Moreover, existin…
Advancing a healthy and sustainable food environment at a railway station
Background Local governments are increasingly resorting to collaborative approaches to improve food environments due to a lack of legal instruments. Yet, the context-related factors influencing such collaborations, as well as their complexity and impact on the food environment remain unknown. This study explored a public private collaboration aiming to improve the food environment at a railway station. Methods A prospective single case study (ren…
A restatement of the protein transition
A protein transition is promoted as a pathway toward a sustainable food system, but its application and progress are potentially hindered by diverse, often conflicting narratives among various stakeholders. These narratives are constituted and underpinned by statements and nurture a growing polarisation by isolation of their underlying scientific evidence. The multidimensional and interdisciplinary nature of a protein transition does not go well …
Policy and practice
Social sciences have seen a so-called practice turn, moving beyond a preoccupation with individual attitudes and behaviour towards the more contextually-embedded concept of social practices to understand drivers and change levers of social action. However, in the policy sciences engagement with Social Practice Theories (SPT) is relatively scarce. Approaches and studies endorsing behaviourist approaches continue to outnumber more sociological, rel…

Biomethane from manure in the RePowerEU
Hearing, listening, and learning
Policymakers in the European Union embrace collaborations of businesses, governments, and academia to develop a sustainable and circular bioeconomy. These so-called Triple Helix clusters aim to stimulate innovation and learning. However, Triple Helix collaborators also face conflicting perspectives on the desirability and directionality of the bioeconomy transition, either within a cluster or with societal actors affected by a cluster’s innovatio…
Europe needs better pesticide policies to reduce impacts on biodiversity
Current pesticide use in European agriculture has significant impacts on biodiversity. • This has cascading effects with potentially severe consequences to food security. • We observe a mismatch between pesticides’ externalities and policy decisions. • We highlight the urgency of implementing tangible and powerful policy measures now. • We outline pathways for better pesticide policies
Harnessing the potential of public procurement for the protein transition – perceived barriers and facilitators
Shifting dietary patterns from animal-based proteins to more plant-based and alternative protein sources – the protein transition – is urgently needed to improve planetary and human health. Public food procurement is considered to be an effective policy instrument to accelerate the protein transition and to be a potential game changer towards a sustainable food system. However, this potential has remained far from leveraged, and it is largely unk…
Designing successful agri-environmental schemes
In response to the challenges posed by the fragmentation of habitats and loss of native biodiversity, climate change adaptation and mitigation, diverse agri-environmental measures have been initiated across the European Union (EU) with the aim of fostering agricultural ecosystem service delivery. Previous studies adopting a governance perspective have identified various determinants of successful agri-environmental measures. However, the explanat…
Determining the transformative potential of circular agriculture initiatives
Policymakers and scientists regard emerging circular initiatives as levers for transformations towards more sustainable food systems. However, it remains unclear how to determine the extent to which circular initiatives have transformative potential. That is, can these initiatives foster a transformation as a result of how they currently bring circularity into practice? In the transformation literature, the characteristics of transformative initi…
Patterns of coordination in the European Commission
Organising effective policy coordination has become a key principle of EU policymaking in recent decades. Within the European Commission, interservice consultations (ISCs) play an important role to coordinate between the different directorate-generals. In spite of this importance, ISCs have so far not been analysed in a systematic way. This paper addresses this gap by systematically analysing the numbers, types and content of comments made in ISC…
Identifying institutional configurations for policy outcomes
This paper employs the Institutional Analysis and Development framework across six ecosystem delivery measures in the European Union to develop a configurational explanation of (un)successful outcomes. By undertaking comparative institutional analysis, we systematically examine the effect of variation across rule types and generate insights on how different institutional configurations result in varying degrees of successful implementation of eco…
Power to the people? Food democracy initiatives’ contributions to democratic goods
In order to foster a transition of the food system toward more sustainable outcomes, scholars have increasingly pointed at the need for organizing strengthened food democracy. By increasing the participation of citizens and food system actors, democratic innovations, such as food policy councils, are believed to promote the quality and legitimacy of food policymaking. However, the question of whether and how food democracy initiatives do indeed c…
The Promised Land
Appropriating marginal land is seen as a way to overcome a wide range of land-use challenges such as food-feed-fuel competition, avoiding land abandonment, and preserving nature. As a result, there is growing interest in policy and academic communities to identify, define and measure the potential of marginal land to overcome these challenges. However, multiple definitions of marginal land exist due to the various ways of framing the problems and…
Conceptualizing controversies in the EU circular bioeconomy transition
The transition towards a circular bioeconomy (CBE) in the European Union is not without contestation. In particular, research has highlighted potential trade-offs of the large-scale production of bio-resources, for instance with environmental quality goals. To date, however, it remains underexplored in the CBE literature how controversies develop throughout a transition process. To address this gap, this paper explores where controversies are sit…
Reconstructing the framing of resilience in the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy post‐2020 reform
The concept of resilience has been increasingly adopted on the European Union's (EU) policy agenda as a principle for agro‐food policy‐making. However, resilience is an ambiguous concept, allowing for different understandings and uses in the context of agro‐food policy‐making. This study analyses whether and how resilience is framed and contributes to framing in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post‐2020 reform process by policymakers and sta…
The framing of malnutrition by parliamentarians in Uganda
The quest for political commitment to reducing malnutrition in sub-Sahara Africa draws attention to the role of national parliamentarians. Whereas parliamentarians have the authority to ratify legislation, monitor policies and budgets and transform behaviour, to date little is known about how malnutrition is understood and debated in sub-Saharan African political arenas. This study addresses that gap by exploring how (mal)nutrition has been frame…
The expediency of policy integration
Policy integration has come to be known as the Holy Grail of public policy. Given the increased complexity of societal problems, academics and policymakers alike have called for better integrated governance approaches to deal with these problems more effectively. Despite the intuitive appeal of these calls, pursuing policy integration may not always be expedient, as it comes with significant costs and pitfalls. So far, the question of when pursui…

Does the Common Agricultural Policy enhance farming systems’ resilience? Applying the Resilience Assessment Tool (ResAT) to a farming system case study in the Netherlands
The European Commission has emphasised that a more resilient farming sector is required to better respond to current and future economic, societal, and environmental challenges. Consequently, supporting resilience has become an important aim of the proposals of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2020. However, interactions between public policies and resilience outcomes have hardly been researched in-depth. This study analyses whether and …
Toward a processual understanding of policy integration
The role of policy integration in the governance of cross-cutting policy problems has attracted increasing scholarly attention in recent years. Nevertheless, the concept of policy (dis)integration is still under theorized, particularly regarding its inherent processual nature. The main argument of this paper is that policy integration should be understood as a process that entails various elements that do not necessarily move in a concerted manne…

Mechanisms for policy (dis)integration
Recent years have witnessed increased political interest to the challenge of organizing policy integration to govern societal problems that crosscut the boundaries of traditional government sectors and levels, including climate change, food insecurity, terrorism, and the instability of financial markets. Public policy scholars have recently suggested to study such attempts by conceptualizing policy integration as a multi-dimensional process. Alth…

Towards integrated food policy
Repeated food crises have resulted in increased recognition of the boundary-spanning nature of governing food systems and in consequent calls for more holistic food governance. An increasing number of governments have followed up on this recognition by initiating or discussing the development of better integrated food policy. However, in spite of the emergence of integrated food policy as a policy paradigm worth pursuing, considerable challenges …
Holy Grail or inflated expectations? The success and failure of integrated policy strategies
Governments and international organizations increasingly pursue the development of integrated policy strategies to govern persistent societal problems that crosscut the boundaries of traditional jurisdictions. In spite of the rising popularity of such integrated strategies, little is known about their effects. Although it is generally assumed that integrated strategies result in better outcomes, the evidence base to support this claim is sparse. …
The European Commission's ability to deal with wicked problems
The European Commission's ability to cope with wicked problems is generally viewed as inadequate because of its hierarchical and inflexible modus operandi. Recent research suggests, however, that the Commission may be better equipped to deal with wicked problems than is commonly assumed. To elucidate these contradictory viewpoints, we analysed conditions that enable or constrain the Commission in dealing with wicked problems. To do so, we applied…

A mechanisms-based explanation of nutrition policy (dis)integration processes in Uganda
Many African governments have recently invested in strengthened nutrition policy integration to address malnutrition; as a step towards realising the targets of the Sustainable Development Goal 2. Previous studies have identified various factors that enable or constrain how nutrition integration occurs across policy sectors. However, the explanatory value of these studies has remained relatively limited, as the causal processes through which inde…
Establishing cross-border co-operation between professional organizations
This article explores the conditions under which local and regional governments will establish and sustain cross-border co-operation in the fields of police, fire fighting and emergency health services. It argues that understanding this type of cross-border co-operation requires a focus on the way in which professionals define and apply their professional standards in cross-border contexts. Moreover, it requires a focus on individual organization…

A framework to assess the resilience of farming systems
Agricultural systems in Europe face accumulating economic, ecological and societal challenges, raising concerns about their resilience to shocks and stresses. These resilience issues need to be addressed with a focus on the regional context in which farming systems operate because farms, farmers' organizations, service suppliers and supply chain actors are embedded in local environments and functions of agriculture . We define resilience of a far…
