🧮 77% of CAP payments for farms go to high-emission meat and dairy.
That's not an accident but a policy choice. One that might be repeated in the coming CAP period '28 - '34.
📣 Farmers and citizens call for agroecological farming, healthier diets, and reliable support for farmers ready to change.

The alliance strongly criticises that the EU-MERCOSUR deal benefits corporate agribusiness, while farmers, rural communities, and the climate bear the costs. Protesters in Berlin urge the European Parliament to reject the deal.
Read their demands in detail 👉 wir-haben-es-satt.de/informieren/...
Together, they urge the German government to:
➡️ ensure fair prices for farmers and consumers
➡️ respect animal rights
➡️ strengthen environmental protection
➡️ reject a further deregulation of GMOs and pesticides
✊ 8,000 people and dozens of tractors filled the streets of Berlin this weekend to demand fair and sustainable food systems worldwide.
🚜 The protest, initiated by @wirhabenessatt.bsky.social, brought together farmers, citizens, climate activists, animal welfare advocates and many more!
people in front of the EU parliament with a banner 'Food is a human right for all!'
❗ Many EU farmers work without a decent income while big agribusinesses profit from speculation.
🪧 Today in Brussels, people gathered to support #GoodFoodForAll and called on the EU to guarantee the #RightToFood: fair prices, decent work, healthy food for all!

As the Good Food Good Farming Secretariat heads into the winter break, here’s a short thread looking back at what we’ve done together in 2025 👇
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.
@eufpc.bsky.social
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
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.

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, unhealthy, fragile patterns.
corporateeurope.org/en/2025/09/u...
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
Support farmers, not industrial agriculture! This means:
✅ Long-term access to land
✅ Fair prices & incomes
✅ Decent working & living conditions
#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.
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.

Relevant Report on Pesticides ⚠️ 🌱👇
Our food system is overly reliant on pesticides, harming people & nature.
A new report by @paneurope.bsky.social & @foeeurope.bsky.social shows that a pesticide-free future is already possible, and happening!

Rooted in outdated priorities, EU agricultural policy is unfit for today’s challenges. Let's change it.

It's also possibly illegal
Now it has been challenged by 145 MEPs who want to refer the deal to the European Court of Justice
MEPs, #StopEUMercosur!

They call for:
🌾 Fair farmer income support
🌱 Create the economic conditions for the agroecological (e.g., organic) transition
🚜 Make farming attractive
🌿 Invest in ecosystems and support farmers in the transition
❌ End harmful subsidies
💶 EU budget that delivers on public goals
🌱 As #AGRIFISH meets today to debate the post-2027 EU farm subsidies policy, 30+ organisations — representing farmers, civil society & national coalitions — publish joint recommendations to #MakeCAPWork for farmers, people, nature & climate.

“One day, there will be no one left to produce food in Europe if we keep going this way.” – Françoise, animal farmer in Wallonia 🇧🇪
The #EUMercosur trade deal will only benefit big agribusiness and fuel unfair competition for small-scale, family farmers - in Europe and Latin America.
