| Abstract | In the recent past the war in Ukraine has led to a massive imbalance in the global political structure and in this context triggered far-reaching debates that also affect the agricultural and food industry. Against this background, the aim of this article is to shed light on the sounding out of the new equilibrium with selected experts from the agricultural value chains using a qualitative content analysis. For this topic 17 representatives of companies, organizations and associations along the different agricultural value chains were interviewed on ten conflicting goals from the topics: markets, structural change in agriculture, politics, environment/climate/organic farming and livestock. There is broad consensus that large farms play an important role in basic supply, while smaller farms provide diversity. Furthermore, there is agreement that climate protection is highly relevant and must play an important role in the common agricultural policy in the future so that agriculture achieves the goals set out in the farm-to-fork strategy. There are differing views on the part of the industry representatives regarding the demand for more self-sufficiency. Some are in favor of it in view of higher levels of self-sufficiency and volatile international supply chains. The majority, however, are in favor of keeping markets open. The sharpness of the statements differs significantly between the industry representatives. While there is broad agreement on the direction of the transformation process, there are clear differences in the vehemence with which the respective views are expressed. In summary, it can be said that the industry representatives see the aspect of "public money for public goods" above all for the future of the Common Agricultural Policy and the Green Deal. |
