POLITICO is looking for a reporter to cover one of the most colorful and contentious topics in Europe: food and agriculture policy, with an emphasis on spending and trade.

Food and farming lie at the heart of some of the EU’s biggest clashes. From Europe-wide protests over import competition to war-fueled grocery inflation that threatens to topple governments, as well as the next reform of the vast Common Agricultural Policy, this beat offers a chance to break news on some of the biggest stories in Europe.

POLITICO is looking for a reporter who can drive coverage of topics ranging from the way price spikes cascade through the supply chain, to the fact and fiction of beef import quotas – while connecting the dots between technical budget lines in the EU’s farmer support plan to existential political debates about European autonomy and climate transition.

The successful candidate will have an eye for detail, be comfortable with numbers and have an appetite for rigorous reporting, source-building and scoops. They will be a team player, with a good understanding of how policy is made and the ability to develop sources within the EU, governments, industry organizations and interest groups involved in policy.
