Der Umweltverband @greenpeace_de hat die "Zukunftskommission Landwirtschaft" verlassen!

Wie kam es dazu? Was bedeutet das jetzt? [Thread 1/9]

2019 erlebten Umweltverbände & Klimabewegung trotz #HambiBleibt ein realpolitisches Fiasko: die #Kohlekommission

Auch dort verhandelten @greenpeace_de, @naturschutzring, @bund_net doch Mrd. für Konzerne + katastophales 2038 war nicht zu verhindern. [2/9]
volker-quaschning.de/artikel/2019-0…
Lehren aus der #Kohlekommission wurden breit diskutiert & @lassessostehen wies bereits auf Parallelen zur "Zukunftskommission #Landwirtschaft" hin:

Nicht zuletzt sind/waren @martinkaisergp & @kainiebert jeweils als Verbandsvertreter mit dabei. [3/9]

[THREAD] Le vote de la PAC commence à 13h15. Nous avions la chance d’en faire un pilier du Pacte vert, mais le lobby agro-industriel et une alliance entre conservateurs, libéraux & socialistes en a décidé autrement. Voici pourquoi nous allons voter contre. 1/ #VoteThisPACDown
La réforme que le Parlement vote cette semaine en plénière est une proposition de la Commission de la précédente mandature (2014-2019), présidée à l’époque par Jean-Claude Juncker et dont Phil Hogan était Commissaire à l’Agriculture. 2/
Présentée en 2018, les député·e·s européen·ne·s avaient décidé d’en reporter le vote à une date ultérieure aux élections européennes pour qu’elle soit plus en phase avec les attentes sociétales. 3/

THREAD Worrying that much media are reporting favourably on EU Council's CAP deal. Please look at what lies beneath Ag minister @JuliaKloeckner deal and how it is is similarly dangerous as the Parliament's...

Protection of peatlands and wetlands:
Adequate" protection becomes "minimum" protection, and only then from 2025. (3% of EU land area of drained peatlands is responsible for 25% of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and 5% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the EU).
Mandatory sustainability tool for nutrient management is deleted (as with Parliament's compromise deal)

Mentre si discute di pettegolezzi, il futuro del clima, della biodiversità e del cibo - in altre parole, della vita - è stato devastato da un voto in sordina e antidemocratico al Parlamento Europeo, completamente ignorato dai media. #FutureofCap
Un accordo sottobanco tra lobbisti delle multinazionali agricole, il @EPPGroup i popolari (fin qui niente da stupirsi), @RenewEurope (centristi belleparole tipo Macron e @matteorenzi) e gli incredibili @TheProgressives (tra cui @pdnetwork), ha permesso di bypassare discussione...
…seria, di tradire ogni intento di #EUGreenDeal, #EUFarm2Fork, agricultura biologica e le altre belle parole.
Hanno dato il colpo di grazia definitivo alla tutela della biodiversità, alla mitigazione delle emissioni per fare un favore agli amici lobbisti.

THREAD 👇 per spiegare cosa provocherebbe l'approvazione della proposta avanzata da PPE, S&D e Renew Europe sulla Politica Agricola Comune (PAC) #futureofCAP

Spoiler ➡ è il colpo di grazia definitivo alla tutela della biodiversità e alla mitigazione delle emissioni ❌
Innanzitutto consente la continuazione del #drenaggio delle #torbiere, attività che causa una altissima emissione di gas serra (pensate che rappresenta il 25% di tutte le emissioni di gas serra agricole dell'UE, e il 5% di tutte le emissioni di gas serra dell'UE)
Poi non si tabilisce un budget per la #biodiversità - sarebbero necessari almeno 15 miliardi di euro all'anno del budget della PAC per salvare le specie agricole a rischio di estinzione nel prossimo periodo di validità della PAC

THREAD on content of what EPP-RE-S&D MEPs have negotiated on the #FutureofCAP and why this surrender to intensive agriculture interests must be stopped
"Maintenance", not protection, of #peatlands means taxpayers will still be paying for drained peatlands, currently 25% of ag GHG emissions Image
They delete the need for farmers to have a tool for more sustainable use of nutrients, as a condition for public support. Agriculture is the biggest source of nitrate pollution in watering the EU, responsible for dead zones and toxic algae Image

IPES-Food advisor Francesco Ajena is live at a packed @EU_Commission stakeholder consultation on the #EUFarm2Fork Strategy.

#F2F #CAP #FutureofCAP #EUGreenDeal

Some important reflections at this crucial time 👇 Image
"#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."
"In the #EU we need a truly integrated food policy, not an à la carte set of proposals. Proposals need to be mutually reinforcing. With objectives including production systems, food environments, food chains, #trade and access to and protection of #land and natural resources."

Some 3% of farms now account for 52% of EU farmland, and 20% of farms receive 80% of payments under the #CAP.

The #CommonFoodPolicy argues to reform the payments mechanism of CAP via 4 key points (among others):

#FutureofCAP Image
i) shifting from an area-based payment logic to composite criteria (labour intensity, farm size, regional specificities, etc.) with mandatory redistribution to small-scale farms.

ii) capping payments to individual farms.
iii) providing a positive definition of an active farmer at EU level.

and iv) introducing a minimum percentage (instead of a ceiling) for payments to young farmers.

I don't usually talk politics on here, let a lone local ones, but as many of you are (interested) in conservation, I'll make an exception. There's a ballot initiative in my native Bavaria proposing changes to the state environmental law to reverse biodiversity decline.
While it's about biodiversity in general, the actual campaign slogan is 'Save the Bees' #RettetdieBienen. And needless to say, a lot of the images they use are of, you guessed it, the domesticated honeybee.
Therefore I was a bit apprehensive about reading their ballot measure at first, but I was relieved to find that there is nothing in there about promoting or subsidising beekeeping.

What's needed?
@davidbaldock & Allan Buckwell of @IEEP_eu:
1: Sufficient funding for environmental measures in Pillar 1
2: Specifics for New Delivery Model
3: Flexibility for Pillar 1 to 2 transfers
4. Fund ANCs under Pillar 1

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?
