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

"Much depends on the level of ambition of the Member States in their National Strategic Plans" BUT the College of Commissioners who will decide on their approval has the legal and political authority to raise their ambition.
Mr @jwojc, you have to accept your responsibilities. https://twitter.com/jwojc/status/1465727205368025092
Much depends on the level of ambition of the Member States in their National Strategic Plans.
The European Commission will encourage and support Member States to achieve a fairer and greener CAP.
National coalitions across Europe urge the @EU_Commission & agri Commissioner
@jwojc to raise the ambition of the #CAPStrategicPlans! We need real change for sustainable #FoodSystems and not retrograde polcies. More info on the campaign & organisers: https://thisisnotourcap.eu
