  In the wake of the African Swine Fever outbreak in Sweden in 2023, Norway decided to eradicate its own wild boar population. While the disease only affects wild boar and domestic pigs, it has affected hunting, farming and the overall relationship between rural populations and their natural environment. Simultaneously, the last decades have seen a significant agrarian restructuring in which specialization and intensification have been the norm. Today, only three supply chains deliver to the market in what has effectively become a market triopoly, leading to corporate concentration and oligopsony or even monopsony in some areas for farmers. As such, a constellation of socio-natural moments is differentially affected by the threat of the disease, leading to policy changes, supply chain adaptations and changes in rural aspirations to a good life. Focusing here on the latter, this paper seeks to contribute to earlier debates by treating aspirations as socially embedded and collectively mediated orientations toward the future. As such, aspirations are articulated through concerns that exceed the individual and even the household. They are bound up with the future of the village, the farm, the forest, the pork sector, and the wider rural social fabric. We seek to analyse the intersections of i) the collective reproduction of rural life, ii) territorial belonging, iii) moral obligations to the collective, and iv) the notion of a bio-secure modernity. As such, moving beyond the notion of aspirations as simply an expression of lifestyle preferences, this paper critically engages with disease as a driver of agrarian change.

  Kan vi stilles moralsk ansvarlige for forbrukervalgene våre? Sammenhengene i en kapitalistisk økonomi gjør det vanskeligere å hevde det.

  This thesis applies a political virology approach to examine the ways in which viruses are carried by capital circuits in industrial agriculture – viral capital –, as exemplified by the poultry industry. After the IPBES (2020) announced that we now live in the Pandemic Era, in which zoonoses will be ever more prevalent in the future, it is important to unpack the specific ways in which viruses find pathways of dissemination through capital. The macro-level analyses of Mike Davis (2022) and Rob Wallace (2016) are important contributions in this regard and serve to establish a political virology that allows for investigating how viruses find evolutionary gold mines in the extractive natures of capitalist agriculture. If nature moves through capital and vice versa (Moore 2015), so do viruses. However, the macro-level analytic is not capable of grasping the complexity involved in this process. Through a look at supply chain management (Christopher 2023; Basu 2023) as capitalist planning (Panzieri 1976; 1980), this thesis seeks to disaggregate the ways in which supply chains, by seeking to control material flows in an efficient manner, work in the intersection of capital and the spread of viruses. Taking inspiration from the work of Martín Arboleda (2020a; 2020b), this entails understanding the Norwegian iteration of planetary broiler and egg extractivism from the standpoint of circulation. To do that, this thesis relies on semi-structured interviews with farmers, veterinarians, factory executives, and managers from across the whole broiler and egg supply chains – from planetary biotech to Norwegian retail.
