It's been a tough job but someone had to: I checked ALL the proposed actions in the Farm to Fork strategy and I found out that over half of them have not got off the ground (and more than two-thirds will likely remain unfinished before the term ends)

We just wrapped up the 2nd #PATH2DEA Consortium meeting💪
We met in Angers📍@VEGEPOLYSVALLEY, where we visited @SIVAL_ANGERS exposition of innovations in agriculture🌱
This was an opportunity to share our progress & define the next steps of the work that awaits us in 2024 🚀

@EP_Agriculture, Debate on the 🇪🇺 School Scheme
@marctarabella " suggests" farm visits so children can reconnect with animal production & consumption"
Will the visits include slaughterhouses, so children can see for themselves the end result of farming operations? 🤔
A worrying statement coming from an #EU leader.
Which fails to recognize the pressing threats we are facing in 2022, addressing them with a 1950 mentality.

If we don’t understand that #FarmToFork is an attempt to save agriculture, not punish it, in light of the devastating effects of biodiversity loss and climate change on food production globally, we are really in a wrong attitude
Answer to @EP_environment on food security risks⬇️

Remarkable how @EU_Commission gladly calls on Europeans to turn heating down by 1 degree to ⬇️ dependence on 🇷🇺 gas (and rightly so for those who can) but won’t suggest people (again, those who can) to cut back on animal source food to ⬇️ dependence on imported feed & fertilisers

Green targets #EUFarm2Fork #EUGreenDeal should be embraced and strengthened, not weakened.
Nowadays, more than ever, feeding cereals to animals helps the industry and factory farming, not people or our planet.
@jwojc
The proposed measures to tackle food security, due to the #UkraineRussianWar, could terribly weaken the #Farm2Fork and, with it, our plan to tackle the climate crisis!
It is illogical to fight a war by exposing us to bigger threats🌍
@J_Denormandie @jwojc @EUAgri @EP_Agriculture
"In 1967, when the government started recording average chicken prices in the UK, a kilo cost 39p. In September this year, a kilo cost £2.76. Adjusting for inflation, that’s actually a huge price drop; 39p in 1967 would be £7.24 today."

To quote the Commissioner @jwojc - yes, today’s vote will be "remembered for a long time”.❗️
Another 5 years of environmentally destructive business-as-usual in agriculture ahead of us amid the #climatecrisis. Too bad for a #CAP reform.

Good move 👏👏👏
Replacing horses with cycling is the right way to go.
All sports evolve. Our values evolve too.
No need to use horses!

Climate target setting, without clear evaluation & monitoring system, won't work!
This is why we need a EU Climate Council in #EUClimateLaw. It’s time to let science mobilize the change!💫

Pleasure to work with @FrBellino and Ukrainian NGO @ecodiya to produce their first position on hydrogen. Would be very interesting to see Ukrainian progress and cooperation with EU (which is already up and running). #hydrogen #Ukraine ENG: en.ecoaction.org.ua/use-of-h…
