Dear TFF members
My name is Eliot Jones, I am from Dorset, England. I obtained a first class BSc in International Agriculture from Greenwich University in 2016. I am now undertaking an MSC at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. I am currently beginning research for my thesis and am now reaching out to you to request your participation.
I am interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the Brexit debate in relation to both the agricultural community and online social media platforms. This forum presents a very interesting case for political exchange within a demographic that has a significant stake in the outcome of upcoming negotiations with the EU. In my own extensive research of the best and most academic attempts at assessing EU and UK CAP reform and their diagnosis for the future, I have failed to find any political motivation for or against Brexit.
The landslide of British farmers voting to leave the EU, some estimate as high as 70%, has indicated a severe dissatisfaction with the current means of governance. In the 15 months since the referendum, however, this has not been reflected by UK policymakers.
It is my objective to study the way in which TFF members espouse their political preferences regarding post-Brexit agriculture. Once finished, I intend to collect and produce a list of recommendations based on my findings.
I will conduct this research with total anonymity; all participants will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and no personal information of any kind will be made public. This research is meant for me to complete my MSc degree at Wageningen University only, and will not be published. I am very willing, however, to share the results with you and the forum.
Therefore, considering the article presented below, I would like to hear how you envision farming after Brexit, good or bad, and without strong objection from the community, I will begin to study the exchange within this forum.
