The EU is largely self-sufficient for several key food products.
Production in 2022 of cereals, rapeseed, and sunflower is projected to surpass the previous 5-year average.

Rendez-vous, rĂ©unions au sommet : lâEurope est en recherche de solutions et câest aussi une formidable opportunitĂ© pour les lobbyistes dâavancer leurs pions.
Volet agricole (changement de pied): "renforcer notre investissement pour produire plus et adapter le plan Farm to fork qui reposait sur un monde dâavant-guerre en Ukraine. LâEurope ne peut en aucun cas se permettre de produire moins."
Rappel. La stratégie de green deal agricole (dite #farmtofork) défendue par la Commission vise (sans traduction technique) -30% d'engrais, -50% de pesticides, 10% de jachÚres, 25% de bio.
Traduction :-12% de volumes de nourriture, -20% de céréales.

Elle n'a pas encore de traduction en termes de lois ou directives. Emmanuel Macron prend donc le pari, s'il est élu, d'infléchir notoirement les ambitions écologiques de la Commission qui se faisaient, il est vrai, au détriment de la souveraineté alimentaire de l'Europe/...
France's yearly agricultural exhibition #SIA2022 has opened in a tense context of discussions about food sovereignty. But how is đ«đ· faring? Not that well. Only in the past 10 years, 100,000 farms have disappeared, 80,000 farming jobs lost - big increase in farm size 1/n
2/n Increase in farm size often correlated (but not always) with biodiversity loss, eg through plots being brought together, hedgerows removed, more mechanisation. This happened massively during the post-war "remembrement" and is particularly visible in some regions
3/n This has been accompanied by a change in crop types. While France is around 80% autosufficient, there have been decreases in the degree of self-sufficiency eg for fruit and vegs which are imported massively from Southern Europe (the plastic sea of Spain)
Bruxelles en eaux troubles ! La commission européenne a sciemment caché aux élus du peuple européen les effets dramatiques de la stratégie agricole #farmtofork pendant plus d'un an.
Les députés ont travaillé à l'aveugle.

Pour ceux qui ont raté un épisode, #farmtofork, dont la commission essayait de cacher les effets:
Production de céréales et oléagineux:- 15 %. Fruits et légumes :-13 %; produits laitiers:-10% boeuf :- 17,5 % porc et la volaille: -15%. Prix:+12%

TIERSCHUTZ
Beginnen wir mit der wohl gröĂten Schlappe fĂŒr Klöckner in ihrer Amtszeit: Schon von Anfang an zu lasch und unverbindlich, waren die PlĂ€ne fĂŒr das staatl. âTierwohllabelâ eine einzige Katastrophe.

Weder sollte das Label verpflichtend sein, noch waren die Anforderungen ausreichend: Die Schweine hĂ€tten bei der âStufe 1â gerade mal 0,9 m2 mehr Platz gehabt- so viel wie 1,5 DinA4 Seiten. Bei dieser âVerbesserungâ von Tierschutz zu sprechen ist VerbrauchertĂ€uschung!

"declines in production & trade, coupled with the projected increases in food commodity prices, would significantly reduce the EUâs GDP, especially if adoption was limited to the EU. In that case, the EUâs decline in GDP would represent 76% of the decline in the worldwide GDP"
"By 2030, the number of food-insecure people in the case of EU-only adoption would increase by an additional 22 million more than projected without the ECâs proposed Strategies. The number would climb to 103 million under the middle scenario & 185 million under global adoption"
MONDAY: #AgricultureBill is back in the Commons.
Most MPs are well-intentioned & #BackBritishFarming, but the truth is, unless standards are enshrined in law, there is a high probability risk farming will be undermined. .@Keir_Starmer understands this.

#SaveBritishFarming
.@trussliz thinks it's worth undermining our food, farming, animal welfare, countryside & Enviro standards to get trade deals, but has she weighed up the trade-offs? Trade deals gains are tiny compared to losses from trashing our standards ânot just ÂŁ losses.

#SaveBritishFarming
Losses from trashing our food, farming & environmental standards are not limited to the 25-50% of British farms DEFRA expects to go bust.
There'll also be massive costs to public health (those who suffer + the #NHS) from food produced by methods banned here.

@JuliaKloeckner @WirHabenEsSatt2 Nach Anmoderation durch @S_Richartz GruĂwort von Bernd Schmitz, Arbeitsgemeinschaft bĂ€uerliche Landwirtschaft zu #Klimakrise #Landwirtschaft: âFairer Handel heisst nicht Freihandel fĂŒr die Industrie, sondern faire Preise fĂŒr BĂ€uerinnnen und Verbraucher!" abl-ev.de
@JuliaKloeckner @WirHabenEsSatt2 @S_Richartz Als nĂ€chstes forderte Sabine Yacoub von @BUNDjugendRLP eine vielfĂ€ltige Landwirtschaft mit geschlossenen KreislĂ€ufen. Wir brauchen eine Abkehr der Landwirtschaft von Agrarexporten, hin zu regionalen Lieferketten und fairem Handel â das hat auch Corona gezeigt!

The @EU_CoR is exchanging views on #EUFarm2Fork Strategy. For our director Nick Jacobs, initial thinking on the #F2F has taken an "Ă la carte approach", failing to map out a real "paradigm shift".
#FarmToFork #CommonFoodPolicy
Some thoughts đ
#FarmToFork #CommonFoodPolicy
Some thoughts đ
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?
IPES-Food advisor Francesco Ajena is live at a packed @EU_Commission stakeholder consultation on the #EUFarm2Fork Strategy.

"#CAP provides the tools to make #FarmtoFork successful, but also might allow for its tools & budget to make the #F2F a failure. We need to identify the main gaps & possible inconsistencies b/w CAP and F2F. We must address them early instead of waiting for the next CAP reform."

"Does the EU's #FarmToFork strategy have all the answers?"

On the EU's #FarmToFork strategy, it is clear that for one thing, we need to "gradually move towards a 'real costs' approach to prices". What does this mean? đ

[ THREAD] Our reaction on the #EUGreenDeal. @SebastienTreyer says : « this text meets our expectations, delighted to see the ambition on #carbonneutrality, #biodiversity protection and zero pollution. It is a project for Europe and a message from Europe to the world ».
« But we will also need strong messages on industrial policies to convince the most skeptical. We have questions on the means : after the just transition fund for countries still coal-dependant, what is left to implement the rest of the #EUGreenDeal ? »
