Think #FutureofCAP should support intensive farming for #foodsecurity? Think again. This model is killing the ecosystems we need to produce food. And every year, 88 million tons of food go to waste! 🙀

Recommendations on #EUFarm2Fork not legally binding, but will be used in assessment of CAP Strategic Plans, states @jwojc

Underwhelmed by this morning's #AGRIFISH: excuses and delays. Science is clear: we need a rapid transformation of our farming system
Dear Ministers, there is no future for agriculture with business as usual. Citizens are calling for change. Will you act?https://t.co/jXqUQfP2BO

Most #AGRIFISH ministers this morning endorsed the #EUFarmtoFork strategy, the real test of their commitment will be whether they are ready to improve the CAP's environmental performance, discussions about to start https://t.co/EMsllajPU6

Time for #Agrifish ministers to be clear.
Is it empty words or do they truly want a #FutureofCAP that protects biodiversity? #Ecoschemes and #GAEC9 up for debate this afternoon.

At times it’s hard not to be saddened by what I encounter on my survey work. 30 days ago I visited a beautiful field with Skylarks, Yellowhammers, Linnets, wild flowers etc. It was the last vestige of what the River Camac must have looked like in years past. 30 days ago & today.. pic.twitter.com/SYgiiJoakY

Tuesday’s #EUCO deal on the budget and recovery fund commits to spend 30% on climate objectives. Can we be confident this will be measured accurately? A new IEEP report https://t.co/KvfVWuZMQS for @EP_Budgets identifies problems with the tracking system. [Thread: 1/12] pic.twitter.com/VIzdzxSFsf
