Supporting Farmers or Consumers?

Abstract

Since the 1960s European agriculture has been shaped both by the common policy regime and by technological change. Improved farm machinery, chemical fertilisers, new breeds of animals and biotechnology have resulted in increased yields while the high prices have rewarded those producers who responded to these incentives. These developments have not always been popular with food consumers — nor have they been equally accessible to all those within the agricultural community. Indeed, technological change brings benefits to some but costs to others and the distribution of these gains and losses has been influenced by the policy regime and its interaction with new technologies.
