#Live in Brussels ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ 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.

โŒš๏ธ We'll bring you updates from 15h30 CET ๐Ÿ‘

The @EU_CoR is exchanging views on #EUFarm2Fork Strategy. For our director Nick Jacobs, initial thinking on the #F2F has taken an "ร  la carte approach", failing to map out a real "paradigm shift".

#FarmToFork #CommonFoodPolicy

Some thoughts ๐Ÿ‘‡

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?

Re: Farm to Fork, inconsistencies at EU level remain ๐Ÿ‘‡

And this is why an ambitious #Farm2Fork plan is so important - one that connects the dots with interconnected solutions ๐Ÿ‘‡
