Join the October action days
Action map 2021
Join us to raise the alarm for Good food and good farming!
European policies influence what we eat: every year €60 billion of taxpayers’ money is distributed to farmers through the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Right now, the biggest farmers get the most money. But a reform of the policy is underway, and many other laws are being discussed at the same time, affecting the way we farm and what we eat. Now is the time to stand up and be heard!
We want:
- access to local, healthy and culturally-appropriate food for all
- lively rural areas and more people in farming
- no GMOs and major reduction of chemical pesticides and fertilizers
- fair income and decent working conditions for farmers, land workers, pastoralists and fishers
- subsidies to support farmers in the transition to more sustainable practices
- protection of biodiversity, the environment and the climate
- higher animal welfare and fewer, higher-quality animal products
- international trade agreements that protect human rights and support efforts to create socially just and ecologically resilient societies
- more participation of farmers, consumers and activists in political decision making

Industrial #agriculture has led to the collapse of rural communities. #Pesticide-free agriculture increases employment rate & farm profits & preserves #biodiversity. But @COPACOGECA is bound to the #pesticides industry & tries to prevent all improvements to EU farmers' wellbeing!
#Farm2Fork is being discussed and voted this week in the European Parliament, after a lobbying frenzy by the industry, who now oppose any binding targets to achieve EU #Farm2Fork goals. Who will win the vote, the people or profit?

The #EUFarm2Fork is the EU’s 1st initiative set out to address the entire food chain in order to move towards a truly FAIR, HEALTHY, and ENVIRONMENTALLY friendly FOOD SYSTEM.
🗳In TODAY’s vote in #EPlenary we will see 👀 who supports change & who is locked in Business as Usual.
