🌿 On Monday, the #AGRIFISH meeting will discuss the EU Commission's Vision for Agriculture & Food. We urge to push for a strong plant-based agri-food chain—key for competitiveness, food security & climate resilience. 🌱#PlantBased #EUFoodPolicy tinyurl.com/ykpd4ser

The EU wants to weaken the CAP’s green rules. Farmers are already facing drought, soil degradation & biodiversity collapse. We need a nature and climate-friendly CAP, supporting farmers, not more deregulation. Read our joint statement: tinyurl.com/3bkcrv7x #NoNatureNoFuture

#Ernährung der Zukunft braucht starke Umwelt- und #Klimapolitik: Umwelt und Klima dürfen nicht unter die Räder der Agrarindustrie geraten. #bundesregierung tinyurl.com/4ts7r6sn

Solutions for healthier, more sustainable, affordable, and balanced nutrition are already on the table. If Hansen chooses to ignore them, it would be a grave disservice to the health of Europeans.

We are very disappointed with many aspects of the new vision by @CHansenEU , one of them being the question of WHICH food we want to produce. Science is clear: We need diverse, nutritious food that promotes our health!

Thank you to 180,000 supporters! 🫘🇪🇺 The new #EUseedlaw could put cultivated plant diversity across Europe at risk. So, we are asking for the law to be changed quickly! Therefore please sign and share our petition now! mitmachen.arche-noah.at/en/raise-our-f…

Massive political efforts are needed to tackle the causes of hunger – conflict, poverty, and inequality. Without confronting power, the harvest will never reach the hungry. ipes-food.org/only-politics-… @IPESfood

🌍🍽️ A better food & farming system is possible! The upcoming EU Vision must support farmers in transitioning to #ClimateResilient, #NatureFriendly farming while ensuring healthy, sustainable food for all. @CHansenEU : Let’s get this right! Letter➡️bit.ly/3OLFjql

A new EU law could deregulate gene-edited plants (GMOs), strip away safety checks, and put the livelihoods of small & medium-sized farmers at risk.🍃💔 ❗We urgently call on EU leaders to reject this deregulation on 14 February @POLAND25EU❗ tinyurl.com/32chmk5c/

Tomorrow’s first meeting of the European Board for Agriculture and Food is a chance for change! @CHansenEU and other members, please support an EU #PlantBased Plan and boost our resilience, health and sustainability. Over 130 organisations stand with you: bit.ly/3WQkVcj
