1980年代中期开始的欧洲联盟共同农业政策的调整，是为了应对其高成本和生产过剩的内在趋势，启动了一系列措施，这些措施被解释为扭转了以前对农业生产的重视，并使农民转向经营其企业的其他方法。政策改革措施的特点是促进了农业从“生产主义”向“后生产主义”时代的结构性转变，尽管在农场一级这种重新定位的经验证据还不太确凿。本文报告的结果，从分析的大规模的商业农场主在一个地区的相对密集的耕地和混合畜牧业利用文献和调查来源，以寻求这种转变的证据，在长期内。尽管这些农民已经采取了与其主要目标不冲突的政策改革措施，但他们继续加强和专门化农业经营，并通过积累和扩张集中生产性农业资源。
The adjustment of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) initiated in the mid-1980s in response to its high cost and in-built tendency for overproduction set in train a series of measures that have been interpreted as reversing the former emphasis on agricultural production and diverting farmers towards alternative approaches to running their businesses. The policy reform measures have been characterised as contributing to a structural transition from a ‘productivist’ to ‘post-productivist’ era in agriculture, although empirical evidence for such reorientation at the farm level is less than conclusive. This paper reports on results from an analysis of large-scale commercial farmers in an area of relatively intensive arable and mixed livestock farming using documentary and survey sources to seek evidence of this transition over the long-term. Although these farmers have engaged with policy reform measures where these do not conflict with their primary objective, they continue to intensify and specialise their agricultural operations and to concentrate productive farm resources through accumulation and expansion.
