Routledge - The Changing World of Farming in Brexit UK

The 2016 referendum to withdraw the United Kingdom from the European Union sparked intense political debate across all policy sectors, with agriculture facing significant uncertainty. For the first time in a generation, the future of farming is no longer defined by the constraints of the Common Agricultural Policy. This book provides an empirical contribution to the ongoing Brexit debate by examining the shifts in rural policy and planning. By bringing a social dimension to discussions around agri-Brexit and sustainable agriculture, this work offers a deeper look at how these changes affect the lives of farmers. It moves beyond simple policy analysis to address the social context necessary for understanding the future of the industry. This text is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of politics, sociology, and agricultural management in a post-Brexit landscape.
