The article analyses the crisis and ‘double bind’ situation to which Catalan dairy farmers find themselves subjected. Two contradictory commands are being imposed
on them: ‘act as if nature does not matter and increase
production because, otherwise, the abandonment of
livestock activity threatens you’; and ‘reduce production
and protect the environment to avoid an environmental
catastrophe’. In the first part of the article, we study the
socioeconomic crisis facing cattle farmers. In the second,
we analyse farmers’ discourse on the matter as a ‘double
bind’. Our conclusions indicate that in order to escape
this paradoxical situation and gain some autonomy with
respect to industry, farmers must establish a collective
conscience and unite their interests: Although the path
of producer cooperativism may be among the most realistic, it is not an easy one to follow. [-]
