La transparencia de los alimentos en la UE está en riesgo.
Consumidoras, agricultoras y ONG nos unimos para exigir reglas claras: sin etiquetado ni control, perdemos el derecho a saber qué comemos.

Mais malheureusement, le ministre n'a pas voté en faveur des agriculteurs, de la nature et des consommateurs
Big Tech relies heavily on thousands of data workers for their AI products.
While these workers are hired through intermediaries, Big Tech firms are responsible for their unstable and unfair working conditions.🚨

🚨 BREAKING: The 🇪🇺 Parliament agreed to lock us into fossil gas blackmail
MEPs approved the US-EU deal, which has been informally coupled to the purchase of 🇺🇸 LNG. To the great benefit of fossil fuel corporations. To the great expense of climate, democracy & European sovereignty.
Our reaction 👇
Essential messages here. We take food for granted. Our food system is extremely vulnerable. Governments are doing very little to prevent or mitigate future crises. Massive corporate interests. A bit safer if we switch to plant-based diets.

They call it #simplification. It means pollution. Commission gives a blank cheque. Big business enjoys. People die.
On #WorldWaterDay, we’re facing a dangerous shift.
Business lobbies want weaker water rules, faster permits, fewer checks - for profit.
The @ec.europa.eu must protect water.
Scandal alert! 🖋️ VDL has officially declined to meet the people.
While she’s busy with the industry, she has declined the 270+ groups waiting for her. We’re withholding our ball because we don't talk to empty chairs.

Do you also believe politicians should protect the water we drink, the food we eat, the farmers who feed us, the nature we live in?

The real innovation story is not in the Cloud. It’s in farmers’ fields.

Thanks for investigating on this. Still shake my head in wonder at why a German chemical company of all companies receives so many favors.
We need #Rulestoprotect
Corporate interests have pressured the heads of States into attacking vital safety, social, environmental laws.
We need more, even stronger laws to protect Europe’s people and wildlife.
This also hinders transitions to #Agroecology, multiply energy consumption, over use of resource.
Thanks Somo for great investigation

great piece from @matsengstrom.bsky.social the other side of the story are costs of non-regulation: pollution from PFAS chemicals will cost the European Union €440bn by 2050.
We need better rules not lawmakers that only want to tick boxes of industry wishlists. #Rulestoprotect
Big Brother is feeding you.
It doesn't sound nice, right?
As farmers face increasing economic pressure and climate impacts, BigAgri & BigTech are teaming up to sell them a new techno-fix: digital farming through platformisation and AI.
What is that? What's behind this corporate takeover? 👇
"The GMO industry is based on a unique economy: the eternally renewed promise. [...] The question's not what these technologies [ #newGMOs ] could do. It's what the companies developing them have an interest in making them do"

After waiting so many hours for the food omnibus. nothing published yet
This devilish grin sums up what scrapping vital protections means for people. Enjoy watching the video

Last night, the EU institutions made a deal to destroy safeguards for new GMOs. A gift for corporations, a punishment for consumers, farmers and nature.

Is the topic of new GMO so controversial that it brings the @europarl.europa.eu website down? www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...
Any this is not about green transition, this is about more power for #BigAg and abolished farmers' and consumers' rights
📦 Today we helped deliver 75 boxes of pesticides banned in the EU but authorised for export, back to the European Commission in Brussels.
From Brazil to India, Indonesia to South Africa, citizens sent a clear message: toxic trade must stop.

Overconsumption is eating up our future. Even buying “green” reinforces a system based on overextraction and overproduction. Time to reset our economies!
