We have a deal on EUDR! 🇪🇺 Good news tonight: we have reached an agreement on EUDR. It will not change the law in substance; it simply gives all businesses and farmers 12 extra months to adapt 🌳

⚠️Top EU Court has just delivered a potentially revolutionary ruling on food: If a member state hasn't set a legal name for a food product, it can't use rules to stop producers of plant-based foods from naming their products using descriptive names like "veggie" burger or sausage

🌱 Through EAPF, innovative companies unite in their mission to advance #PlantBased alternatives and create a more sustainable food system. Together, we're building a brighter future for all. #PlantOurFuture

🌱 Consumers embrace sustainable proteins! Over half are willing to pay extra for healthier, eco-friendly options. Novel ingredients, enhancing taste and health, drive this shift. Read the report by @McKinsey: bit.ly/3z2fAW6

On this #EUGreenWeek, we explore how plant-based diets benefit our planet. A @Nature Food study reveals GHG reduction, carbon sequestration, and improved blue water use. Let’s prioritize plant-based foods for a resilient Europe! nature.com/articles/s4301…

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay!🌱This year’s theme is #GenerationRestoration – let’s grow forests, revive water sources, and heal our soils. Switching to plant-based foods is a big win for the environment, better for our soils, water, and natural resources, and drives green growth!💚

🙋‍♂️ Happening tomorrow, 22 March! Looking forward to insightful discussions on the #outlook for oils and fats sector, on how to prepare to report on the #sustainability performances and on the evolution of #plant-based food category and on developments in #alternative fats space

TFA labelling should be transparent and provide information covering all sources (i.e. also ruminant sources) Labelling is a very useful tool to help consumers to make healthy choices. The #EuropeanMargarinesector (IMACE) supports a mandatory nutrition labelling.

❓Land use for production of margarine 🧈🌱 is 50% lower than needed to produce butter? Also, CO2 emissions are 1/3rd lower for margarine compared to butter. Green Claims Dir. should make it possible to compare the sustainbility performance.

TFA labelling should be transparent and provide information covering all sources. 📢Check out the WHO Report bitly.ws/34MB4 The #EuropeanMargarinesector (IMACE) 🧈🌱 supports mandatory nutrition labelling of actual TFA content for both ruminant and non-ruminant TFA.
