🍎Productoras y productores agroecológicos de diferentes territorios llaman a apoyar una carta de medidas #PorUnaAlimentaciónSostenible.
¿Por qué? ¿Para qué?
Os contamos un poco en este #Hilo

Enlace a la carta👉municipiosagroeco.red/rurbactcartaag…
Las distintas crisis que sufrimos en la actualidad están mostrando la importancia que tiene el sistema agroalimentario en la construcción de un mundo más sostenible, sano y justo para toda la población.
Las políticas agrarias mayoritarias redundan en una mayor concentración de los recursos, como tierra, agua y semillas, y en la producción en las fincas cada vez de mayor tamaño, desligadas del territorio, y, a menudo, las más insostenibles.

"The heavy use of pesticides in agriculture is strongly linked to declines in #biodiversity and detrimental impacts on global public #health", more than 700 scientists say. @CostasKadis @MinisterKenE @Teresaribera @LeaWermelin @EamonRyan @MariaOhisalo

Despite these facts, Climate-, Envi-and Energy Ministers, of all people, might softly kill the key part of the #Farm2Fork and Biodiversity Strategy aimed to reduce harm from #pesticides on Monday in the @EUCouncil

☠️Did you know that toxic pesticides banned in the EU are still being produced there, and exported to other parts of the world?
Here's 6 times CEO exposed the agribusiness industry and lobbying in 2021:
1️⃣Stop the Toxic Trade: the tragic tale of toxic pesticides, international trade and EU Green Deal promises. A video featuring Bayer, BASF, Syngenta and Corteva, (un)naturally...

2️⃣Remember when internal lobby documents from Copa-Cogeca revealed a coordinated attack by industrial agri-food lobbies on the EU’s sustainable food (#Farm2Fork ) strategy?

¿Cuál es la situación ambiental de la ganadería en la Comunitat Valenciana? En 2020 hemos trabajado (convenio @GVAagroambient y @UPV). En este 🧵 os resumo algunas conclusiones.
El informe de resultados está disponible en abierto en @RiuNetUPV

2/ El interés de este análisis es evidente: tenemos que redoblar esfuerzos por limitar excesos de aplicación de nutrientes y reducir emisiones. Por tendencia normativa y por responsabilidad #GreenDeal #Farm2Fork. Cuanto antes empecemos, mejor. Image
3/ La ganadería valenciana es variada en sistemas de producción y distribución geográfica. Principales especies son 🐖🐓🐮, con distribución bien concreta, sin llegar al nivel de concentración de algunas CCAA vecinas y con un papel importante en mantenimiento de población rural ImageImage

Aktuell trifft @JuliaKloeckner die EU Agrarminister in Koblenz zu #EU2020DE.
Gestern gingen dort über 1000 Menschen für eine europäische #Agrarwende auf die Straße, organisiert von @wirhabenessatt2

Ein paar Eindrücke von der Kundgebung. Thread von /uk

@JuliaKloeckner @WirHabenEsSatt2 Nach Anmoderation durch @S_Richartz Grußwort von Bernd Schmitz, Arbeitsgemeinschaft bäuerliche Landwirtschaft zu #Klimakrise #Landwirtschaft: „Fairer Handel heisst nicht Freihandel für die Industrie, sondern faire Preise für Bäuerinnnen und Verbraucher!" abl-ev.de
@JuliaKloeckner @WirHabenEsSatt2 @S_Richartz Als nächstes forderte Sabine Yacoub von @BUNDjugendRLP eine vielfältige Landwirtschaft mit geschlossenen Kreisläufen. Wir brauchen eine Abkehr der Landwirtschaft von Agrarexporten, hin zu regionalen Lieferketten und fairem Handel – das hat auch Corona gezeigt!

Today was my last Common Bird Monitoring round for this spring in Eau Blanche river valley -Belgium. A valley covered with meadows, farms here producing beef/milk. I'm monitoring there since 1990! This led me to some reflections about #biodiversity & #meat 👇
#ornithology 1/9 Image
If all farmland in BE were like this valley, we would not contemplate this kind of depressing #FarmlandBirdIndex graph. It shows the average trend of 15 species of bird specialized in farmland in Wallonia (source: @AvesBE & #DEMNA) 2/9 Image
In Eau Blanche valley, Tree Sparrow, Meadow Pipit, Turtle Dove are also declining, but at least some of them are still present. Stonechat, scarce in 1990, are now abundant. Today, I saw Black & Red Kites, Black & White Storks all 4 in the same field ! Unthinkable 30 yrs ago. 3/9

🗞️ IPES-Food co-chair Olivier De Schutter spoke to @POLITICOEurope on the 'world after #coronavirus' and the shortening of #food supply chains 👇

"Never before has there been such an incredible interest in short supply chains," said @DeSchutterO.

"There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that there'll be more and more calls for re-localized, 're-territorialized' #foodsystems," Prof De Schutter said.

This was echoed by @EUAgri Commissioner @jwojc, who called for "better care of #local markets" and shortened supply chains.
Prof De Schutter also told #Politico's @zosiawanat that there was room for improvement in some #EU policies such as public procurement, competition, #CAP and #Farm2Fork.

They could be improved to give advantages to local, smaller and organic #farmers, said the article.

#Live in Brussels 🇪🇺 IPES-Food's Nick Jacobs is at the European Committee of the Regions (@EU_CoR) for an exchange of views on the impending #EUfarm2fork Strategy.

Nick will be joined by @GuidoMilana @rozathun & @SchilthuisGijs.

⌚️ We'll bring you updates from 15h30 CET 👍 Image
The @EU_CoR is exchanging views on #EUFarm2Fork Strategy. For our director Nick Jacobs, initial thinking on the #F2F has taken an "à la carte approach", failing to map out a real "paradigm shift".

#FarmToFork #CommonFoodPolicy

Some thoughts 👇
1. #EUFarm2Fork targets not enough. #Pesticide & AB reduction targets won't be effective w/o viable alternative products/production systems. 2. Techno-fixes (gene editing, feed additives, #data-driven ag) reinforce current system & entail trade-offs! 3. Support for #agroecology? Image
