I’ve just published a deep-dive analysis on the effects of privatizing the Dutch agricultural extension service.
In this video, I discuss:
🔹 How privatization empowered farmers and advisors
🔹 The rise of innovation and specialization
🔹 Critical challenges such as exclusion and loss of public-good knowledge
🔹 The broader cultural shift toward a market-driven system
