In the podcast, we hear from farmers and herders who lost their land, an investigative journalist who has spent years unpacking these dynamics, activists and "alternative" farmers who resist the system from within, and scholars who help us make sense of what this all means for the rise of far-right authoritarianism today. Our podcast strives to challenge the common view that Viktor Orbán is the main problem in Hungary. Our aim is to show that Orbánism did not arise in a vacuum. Rather, it is deeply entangled with, environmental and agricultural transformations, including the privatisation and enclosure of farmland, the "urgency" of the green transition, technocracy, the destruction of commons, and the erosion of local democratic institutions.
