Current EU policies are falling short👎
Right now, we have a real window of opportunity.
Upcoming decisions could drive a fair transition to a more resilient, nature‑positive system that protects our health and farmers’ livelihoods 🙌

#ClimateActionNow
🛠️ Fix the agri-food system or miss climate targets, warns scientists
The latest @esabcc.bsky.social report calls for a “systemic transition” to:
🌱 climate-proof our food and farming system
😷 protect public health and our environment
🐄 and reduce our reliance on feed and fertiliser imports

A handful of corporations control what we eat - and profit from it.
Seeds, pesticides, machinery, carbon credits, fertilisers, even poultry genetics. That’s not free choice - that’s corporate monopolies.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Young people want to farm. But they can't afford to access land. If we don’t support a new generation of small- and medium-scale farmers, we risk food grown by fewer and bigger operators, and countryside hollowed out by #BigAg.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
There’s a better way. 🌱
By avoiding synthetic inputs, organic & agroecological farms protect soil, water, and wildlife. They build resilience, producing food long-term without destroying the planet.
#FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness #EUAgriFoodDays
Industrial agriculture is destroying meadows, killing pollinators, and turning rivers grey (and green!), wrecking nature and undermining the very resources future food production depends on.
#FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness #EUAgriFoodDays
By 2050, climate change could push food prices up 20%.
Agriculture makes up 12% of EU emissions, yet agribusiness lobbyists block real climate action, like controlling harmful and dangerous levels of industrial animal production.

A coalition of leading scientists calls on the @ec.europa.eu to improve the protection of the environment, biodiversity and citizens' health against harmful #pesticides. They ask the Commission to drop the idea of weakening the pesticide regulation.

#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
We can build better.
Break monopolies and support farms practicing agroecology (e.g. organic), fair supply chains, and rules that serve people - not corporations.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Unhealthy market concentration:
56% of seeds
61% of pesticides
43% of machinery
25% of phosphate fertilisers
68% of animal medicines…
… in the hands of just 26 players.
The system locks in unfair, fragile patterns.

Big Agri and Food Businesses built a system where fresh produce is intensely sprayed with #pesticides & cheap junk food is all around. The diets they profit from are harming our environment and health, while public health costs explode.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
We can fix this.
Public policy can shift power away from corporations and toward people: regulate junk food marketing, fund free school meals so kids don’t go hungry, and make nutritious food affordable.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Food corporations built a system where junk is cheap, everywhere, and aggressively marketed.
The diets they profit off are making people sick - 800,000+ deaths every year - while public health costs explode.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Big agribusiness diverts the majority of cropland to feed not people - but *factory farms*.
🤔While claiming to be the solution to hunger.
It's called HUNGER WASHING (ht @thinink.bsky.social).
🌱Let's feed people, not factory farms!
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Let's support farmers, not industrial agriculture.
✅ Long-term access to land
✅ Fair prices & incomes
✅ Decent working & living conditions
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Just 1% of Europe’s biggest farms pocket a staggering 23% (€ 8.7 billion) of EU public money for agriculture.
The result? Small-scale farms vanish, and a new generation of farmers are locked out of the land.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Europe is losing its farmers.
5.3 MILLION farms have disappeared since 2005. Small-scale farmland is being eaten up by Big Agri corporations.
Big industrial farms make starting out nearly impossible.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Industrial agriculture consumes most of our food, while millions go hungry in Europe.
Most EU farmland isn’t supporting people - it’s feeding factory farms.
That’s land we need to grow real food and nourish communities.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Industrial animal agriculture consumes huge amounts of food, while millions go hungry 🚨
Most EU farmland isn’t supporting people - it’s feeding factory farms. That’s land we need to grow real food and nourish communities.

And @greenpeace.eu also has insightful data about how industrial agriculture is diverting food away from people 👇
