Climate change, fuelled by Big Ag and fossil fuels, is pushing food prices up!
Agriculture makes up 12% of EU emissions, yet agribusiness lobbyists block real climate action, like controlling harmful and dangerous levels of industrial animal production.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) @eib.org is increasingly important for financing long-term green investments across the agrifood sector. New brief from @ieep.eu and @concito.bsky.social recommends actions to strengthen this role #dkgreen #eudk #foodsystems #euagrifooddays

I asked the panel on environment during the agrifood days if we could reach our clima & envi goals without significant diet change and related demand side policies.
Julia from @ieep.eu stated that based on their research this would be impossible with our target for 2050 in mind.

🌱EU Innovation is transforming how we grow, produce & consume food.
See how the #EUGreenDeal is turning ideas into action for a fairer, healthier and more sustainable food system to accelerate the green transition: link.europa.eu/khtPgQ

Big agribusiness is fuelling climate chaos and wrecking the nature that farmers depend on. Let's protect the future of our food! #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
🌍 Industrial food production is fuelling climate chaos & ecological collapse – undermining the future of #food.
Climate shocks are already pushing food prices up.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
🌱 #Agroecology builds resilience & protects the planet.

LEAK on 9th #Omnibus: Commission is about to publish a massive betrayal to human health and the environment:
☠️ Giving unlimited approval for #pesticides!
😵💫 Who will pay that bill, Ursula? #EUAgriFoodDays
💀 Who will profit: Big Polluters like #Bayer & #BASF: corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/p...
📊The @ec.europa.eu’s EU Agri Outlook presented today at the #EUAgriFoodDays confirms a clear trend in Europe’s protein basket: While overall EU #meat #consumption is expected to decline slightly by 2035, #poultry is projected to gain ground 📈 , as consumption shifts away from beef and pigmeat.
Yesterday at the Commission’s #EUAgriFoodDays, surrounded by policymakers, researchers, farmers, and civil society, I asked a simple question: Why isn’t biodiversity at the heart of agricultural resilience?
Biodiversity is our natural resilience. Our natural insurance!

We thank the moderator and fellow panellists for a rich exchange, and invite everyone to read our vision for a #CAP that works for farmers, people & the planet:

He stressed how investment in sustainable agri requires a clear & consistent policy direction, notably through #CAP. Market incentives must fairly reward farmers for the #PublicGoods they deliver, so farmers are not left carrying the costs of the transition alone.

Jan highlighted that organic is a proven success story: organic farmers have delivered biodiversity, soil protection, climate benefits and animal welfare for decades - yet these ecosystem services are still not fully rewarded by the market.

Today, our President Jan Plagge took part in the #EUAgriFoodDays panel on “Supporting sustainability of the EU agri-food sector”, focusing on how sustainability and market-driven solutions can support the transition of European agriculture.
🧵 1/4
@eurovia.org’s M. Courgeau nails it: the fact that parts of the population struggle to afford food is not a reason to keep racing toward ever-cheaper food. We need strong social policies, transformed #FoodEnvironments and public procurement to make sustainable food accessible to all.
#EUAgriFoodDays
@greenpeace.eu’s Marco Contiero denounces the lack of political will to pursue a true #FoodSystem transformation. Rolling back environmental protections will hurt farmers, who need stability, a clear direction of travel, and fair remuneration for their work.
#EUAgriFoodDays
“The agroecological transition is not a choice”, @eurovia.org’s Mathieu Courgeau tells #EUAgriFoodDays. Farmers want fair prices, policy coherence (trade), a long-term perspective - yet political responses are moving in the opposite direction, with deregulation bringing uncertainty.
“Love it, leave it, or change it.”
Fairebel was born out of some Belgian dairy farmers’ frustration with the CAP and their determination to earn a fair income from their work.
Today, FairCoop’s President shares this success story of fair remuneration with the #EUAgriFoodDays audience.
As Commissioner @christophehansen.bsky.social put it, it's not only a matter of ethics and the EU must "deliver quickly on this."
We couldn't agree with him more.
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
What’s a future-proof #CAP? One that supports farmers who work with nature & care for animals, producing affordable, healthy food that feeds people, not factory farms.
And animal welfare is central to that 🧵
#EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Agribusiness monopolies drive up food prices & crush farmers. Let's take back control of our food!
Market concentration in #foodsystems is deepening, with serious consequences for farmers, consumers & food access.
#BigAg monopolies drive up costs, limit choice, weaken farmer autonomy, & leave food systems exposed to shocks. Break them up.

We can build better.
Break monopolies and support farms practicing agroecology (e.g. organic), fair supply chains, and rules that serve people - not corporations.
