| Abstract
|
:
|
A Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak is not by definition similar to a Foot and Mouth Disease crisis.Why then did the 2001 outbreak result in a crisis situation in the Netherlands? It was not because nobody was prepared for it.The Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Fisheries had a scenario in stock.The scenario was applied as intended.The scenario did what it was supposed to do: it prevented the spreading of the disease, it resulted in a relatively soon eradication of the disease and it minimised damage to agricultural exports.Nevertheless, the crisis was there.“Foot and Mouth Disease: new values, innovative research agenda’s and policies” reports a process in which individuals and groups involved in the crisis participated in a joint analysis of what caused the crisis, and in the making of a policy and research agenda.The conclusion was that ignorance of the societal function of animals and countryside was the cause of the crisis: the scenario focussed on Foot and Mouth Disease control in a production-oriented environment.In reality many people perceived that the scenario and its rigid application threatened nonproduction values such as the companion role of animals and the recreation function of the landscape.Inevitably a next outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease will occur.However, research and policy makers should seriously take up this perception of animals and countryside to prevent an outbreak of becoming a deep crisis again.
