Agriculture & Progress

The @EU_Commission proposal for a #SUR must be revised substantially to make it feasible & adapted to reality of #growers & #farmers➡ much of it is wrong : targets, undue burdens, #IPM interpretation, lack of #innovative solutions etc.! 6/6➡️ See here 👉bit.ly/3F1B5X7

EU #AgriOutlook 2022. Soils is important for agriculture & food security🌽🫘. @EU_ScienceHub projections estimate an increase of soil erosion mean rates in EU 🇪🇺in the range 13-23% by 2050. This is driven by climate change and increase of rain intensity🌧️ bit.ly/3Fpdu16

⚠️ @SugarBeetEurope together with @CGB_FR alert: the current proposal on sustainable use of #PPPs #SUR is absolutely not feasible with huge implications, not sustainable for 🇪🇺 #sugar #beet sector @AgriProgress @SugarEurope @SanderFranck @JEHAESM #AGCGB

Theoretical debate on #PPPs & #SUR proposal at @LivePOLITICO #POLITICOAgriFood by @IBMAgl & @Food_EU ❌no real account of impacts ❌no real link to way #farmers, esp. of arable crops, need to protect their crop ❌still no viable alternatives, no #NBTs ➡️significant losses ahead

🧑‍🌾Any proposed alternatives to chemical PPPs should be affordable, effective and sustainable. We call on the @EU_Commission to focus on making effective alternatives - such as NGTs - available to farmers so that the use of chemical PPPs can be reduced. 👉bit.ly/3BtK6FN

💡The #AgriProgress Platform submitted its contribution to the #SUR public consultation organised by @EUAgri.🌾Check out the details of our contribution here 👉 bit.ly/3BtK6FN

👨‍🔬🌾Yes to progress, no to counterproductive measures that further deplete the agricultural toolbox! Check our reaction to the @EU_Commission proposal on new rules for #Pesticides use (aka #SUR). 👉bit.ly/3PbFjhI

👩‍🌾 #SustainableUseDirective🌾We urge the @EU_Commission to take farmers views into account so that they can continue to produce high-quality crops while maintaining a decent standard of living. #pesticides Read our position👉 bit.ly/3zGQKJK

As @EUparliament is adopting today its position on legislative proposals on EU’s climate action ambitions under #FitFor55, it was good listening to @SugarEurope Chair Paul Mesters @CosunBeetCo at #CIBECongress on the de-carbonation challenges of the EU #beet #sugar sector see👇

.@SugarBeetEurope was honored to exchange with MEP @UliMuellerMdEP at our #CIBECongress on #EUFarmtoFork & #EUBiodiversity strategies & targets; in such a context, we welcome her ✅pragmatism ✅support to innovation ✅support to #sustainability & #Foodsecurity @SanderFranck

🎙️Have you read the interview w/ @Athurne on aligning #food business strategies with the #SDGs? ♻️Circular, resource-efficient food chains &🍃bioeconomy solutions are effective entry points towards greater #Sustainability! 🗞️Read our newsletter on p. 15: europa.eu/!3vqqYV

📢#Sugar #Beet have emerged! Beet #growers main concern is #weedcontrol. Sugar beet seedlings are very sensitive to weeds, which if left uncontrolled can cause massive yield loss. A combination of chemical & mechanical control can be an efficient response. #FollowTheBeet

👩‍🌾💡That’s it! Thanks for attending the #AgriProgressWebinar on #ipm and #Sutainable use of pesticides #GrowingTheFuture 🌾.

👩‍🌾🌾What are your thoughts on #IPM and Sustainable Use of #Pesticides? Let us know & follow along at #AgriProgressWebinar #GrowingTheFuture for more insights.

💡Mr. Alex Krick from @SugarBeetEurope provides insights into the role of environment-friendly practices (#IPM) in the reduction of #pesticides use, especially in the case of 🇪🇺 Sugar Beet.
