Book review: Agriculture, Sustainability and Competition Law: Policy Paradigms and Their Legal Implications by Martin Milán Csirszki

Abstract

Agriculture, Sustainability and Competition Law: Policy Paradigms and Their Legal Implications by Martin Milán Csirszki, published in English by Routledge in 2025, examines competition law and policy as applied to agricultural producers within the competing paradigms of neoliberal agricultural policy and food sovereignty. The book aims to explore the growing pressures faced by agricultural producers arising from market liberalisation and sustainability concerns, and the resulting debates on the relationship between competition, agriculture, and sustainability. By bridging disciplinary gaps between competition law and agricultural policy, the monograph develops an integrated perspective with a particular focus on sustainability. This review outlines the book’s main contributions and reflects on the readership to whom it will be most valuable.
