Glad to see our work done in the @ENRD_CP on #SmartVillages provides useful content for this Briefing of the European Parliament. My article is one of the main references in this Briefing! 🧐😱

I was just in a meeting with a member of parliament to talk about being more ambitious in setting goals to tackle climate change in relation to agriculture. After stating a fact to him he replied that it was 'fake news'. Are we sure that we really want these people in charge?

Not only was Faustine Bas-Defossez from @IEEP_eu the only woman of that panel on the future of EU food system…
