GFGF protest action 2022 in Brussels!
The EU is updating its pesticide policy. On 27th of October 2022, the GFGF movement protested in front of the EU parliament in Brussels against the insufficient proposals to protect biodiversity and human health. We stated our demands: complete phase-out of pesticides by 2035 and support for farmers who move towards sustainable and toxic-free food production.
Pesticide-CheckUp
In our citizens science action,Β 300 people across Europe got their hair tested for pesticide residues. The results are now published by an independet laboratory – and clearly show that the EU needs to drastically reduce its pesticide use to protect people, biodiversity and the environment!
GFGF European days of action 2022!
More than 50 events on good food and farming across Europe and a culminating protest in Brussels – those were the GFGF Action days 2022! Thank you all for your great energy, creativity and spirit!
About the campaign
Good Food Good Farming is a civil society alliance that campaigns for sustainable food and farming across Europe since 2018. We bring together groups and organisations who are active at local, national and EU level to put pressure on decision makers for a transition of EU food and farming policies. From pushing for an ambitious Agricultural Policy (CAP), towards the phase-out of pesticides, we are active on many different issues related to food and farming and related EU policies.
