| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to establish what has led the center-right European People’s Party (EPP) group in the European Parliament to politicize agriculture during the 2019-2024 parliamentary term. This period is marked by crises affecting agriculture, such as the coronavirus pandemic, the invasion of Ukraine, the environmental crisis and the outbreak of farmers’ protests all around Europe at the start of 2024. On top of that, the European Commission’s flagship project of this term, the Green Deal, carries a core component that is aimed at transforming the agri-food chain to become more sustainable. This ‘Farm to Fork strategy’ has been met with resistance from right-wing political groups. Against this background, and the anticipated surge of right-wing populist parties in the European elections of June 2024, there are many factors at play that have the potential of influencing the behavior of the EPP group. To find out what has led the EPP to politicize agriculture, this study employs an explaining-outcome process-tracing analysis using data triangulation of press releases, an extensive timeline and elite interviews. | |
