Analysts forecast "Global Pesticides market was $57.00 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $88.82 billion by 2027 growing at 5.7% pa." Attempts to reduce pesticide use and move to more sustainable food production techniques are clearly failing. https://t.co/aOOR2d5rqg

Wie immer! 🤬 Die Vertreter ausgewählter Landwirtschaftsverbände (alles ♂️) sitzen mit am Tisch, während @JuliaKloeckner allen zivilgesellschaftlichen Verbänden eine Absage erteilt hat. Seid ihr von Vorgestern #EU2020DE? Habt ihr keine #Partizipation– & #Parität|standards? pic.twitter.com/CzhxlXHbpu

Worry about increasing the eligible area across Europe which will reduce average per ha payments on existing eligible area. Situation worse southern and eastern european countries where large areas of traditional wood pasture are totally ineligible https://t.co/CFt5kRsxGf

Plenty of opportunities for improving climate action in #FutureofCAP. Factsheet highlights value of #eipagri and cooperation to foster locally adapted mitigation measures and value of results based payments to reward farmers efforts. 🇮🇪 has head start here, time to roll out https://t.co/OgH6vNmVCl
