The Commission on the Future of Agriculture (ZKL) was established to develop a multi-stakeholder approach for the sustainability transformation of German agriculture. While it facilitated consensus-building and knowledge exchange, its impact was limited by governance challenges, political accountability gaps, and implementation barriers. Based on qualitative expert interviews, this chapter examines two key dimensions: (a) success conditions for multi-stakeholder processes and (b) barriers to implementation. Effective institutional anchoring, structured follow-ups, and scenario-based methodologies were identified as crucial for strategic foresight and accountability. However, unclear decision-making authority, power asymmetries, and weak political commitment hindered policy integration. The findings emphasize the need for stronger political alignment, protected stakeholder dialogues, and binding mechanisms to ensure multi-stakeholder commissions translate into tangible policy outcomes. These insights contribute to designing more effective governance models in agricultural policy and other transformation processes.
