Examining agricultural policy bias through the Kaleidoscope Model: A study of two strategic priorities in Tunisia
Abstract
This paper investigates Tunisia’s agricultural policy landscape by examining how national policies on wheat and forage contribute to or hinder agroecological transition. It maps policy actors, assesses their alignment with strategic priorities, and analyses policy development processes. The study employs the Kaleidoscope Model as a framework for analysis, drawing on its five key stages of the policy cycle. Qualitative and semi-qualitative methods are used to identify actors, track policy changes, and analyze policy engagement and failure. The findings reveal that Tunisia’s wheat-focused policies prioritize short-term stability over sustainable, diversified agriculture, marginalizing forages and threatening long-term ecological resilience.
