🛢️⛓️‍💥 Europe’s fertiliser crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. It's time to break free! Today, US-Israel war on Iran has sent fertiliser prices soaring again📈😧| Europe's reliance on synthetic fertilisers squeezes farmers, pollutes water, harms health, and weakens food security👎 70+ orgs call for change📄👇

Young people want to farm. But they can't afford to access land. If we don’t support a new generation of small- and medium-scale farmers, we risk food grown by fewer and bigger operators, and countryside hollowed out by #BigAg. #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness

There’s a better way. 🌱 By avoiding synthetic inputs, organic & agroecological farms protect soil, water, and wildlife. They build resilience, producing food long-term without destroying the planet. #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness #EUAgriFoodDays

By 2050, climate change could push food prices up 20%. Agriculture makes up 12% of EU emissions, yet agribusiness lobbyists block real climate action, like controlling harmful and dangerous levels of industrial animal production. #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness #EUAgriFoodDays

Is the CAP supporting both big industrial farms and small farmers alike?
The goal of the CAP is to ensure that it delivers income support to those farmers who need it most, especially those on small and medium-sized farms.

Can the EU chart a sustainable transition to greater protein self-sufficiency?
A combination of production-related measures and healthier, more plant-based diet can help tackle EU’s vulnerability related to high-protein feed and benefit the environment.
