The real #innovation story is not in the cloud.
It’s in farmers’ fields.
Farmers & communities are
🌾restoring soils
🌱breeding climate-adapted crops
🐞managing pests ecologically
🌍 building resilience.
Stop sidelining them.

⚠️ The closing of civic space isn’t accidental; it’s the result of political choices.
Governments invoke security, competitiveness and crisis to justify restricting rights and silencing opposition. What was once an autocratic toolbox is now mainstream.
It’s time to reverse this trend.
🌾Farmers have always innovated.
But today “innovation” is increasingly shaped by Big Tech.
What happens when farmer knowledge and collective learning are sidelined by algorithms?

✊ We are currently blocking CEFIC @cefic.bsky.social - the biggest chemical industry lobbying agency in the EU.
Our brave rebels are saying NO to dirty corporate lobbying, poisoning our food and contaminating our water.

6. Rising to the challenge of moral consistency does not mean supporting your man through thick and thin. It means standing with the victims, whoever they might be, against the oppressors, whoever they might be. And, if necessary, making yourself unpopular in doing so.
5. What this is about is the locus of solidarity. Either you express solidarity with the victims of genocide and the victims of sexual abuse. Or you express solidarity with someone you treat as a hero, who might be assisting the airbrushing of those crimes. There’s a choice to be made.
It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Today is #WorldFoodDay ! It happens that EU bans toxic pesticides... but then still exports them to all corners of the world. And that is ⤴️ ever more: 120.000 tons in 2024, so we decided to send them back to the Commission. They have been waiting 5 years to act & stop this unethical double standard!
💥 World Food Day - UN rapporteur Michael Fakhri said in the European Parliament:
👉 "Hunger is always a political problem. We produce enough food to feed 1,5 times the current global population. Hunger is always a political and institutional failure."

Agroecological practices that enhance soil fertility & eliminate the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides
🌱The good news? Solutions already exist.
#Agroecology and community-based food systems restore soils, recycle fertility, protect health & ensure food access – without fueling the climate crisis.

#EUorganic
A call to action by Corporate Europe Observatory, encouraging individuals to raise awareness about the potential threats of the "28th Regime." It suggests contacting MEPs (Members of European Parliament) to ask about their efforts to prevent the regime from undermining social standards and sending responses to the Commission's online consultation on the 28th regime
Workers in blue uniforms sit at sewing stations in a factory. Text overlay discusses concerns about the EU's '28th Regime' and potential social dumping effects.
There's a serious risk that the EU's forthcoming #28thRegime will result in a downwards spiral in workers’ rights and corporate tax payments
It's high time for public debate and political pressure on EU decision-makers!
