⬇️ Food deserts
⬇️ Small farmers closing shop
⬇️ #ClimateCrisis impacts

Food injustice affects millions across 🇪🇺. While the issues stem from large-scale practices, small actions still matter. We’re not powerless. ⬇️

[European Coordination Via Campesina @ECVC1]

ECVC farmers from more than 20 countries in Schuman to demand an end to the EU-Mercosur FTA, with CSOs, workers unions, NGOs, MEPs and more.

Voices are loud and clear to @EU_Commission from across society: STOP EU-MERCOSUR!

[European Coordination Via Campesina @ECVC1]

📢On Wednesday 13 November from 10:30, farmers and civil society organisations will once again take to the streets of Brussels to reject the EU-Mercosur FTA and denounce the European Commission’s attempts to close the agreement at the G20 summit in Brazil.

[GoodFoodGoodFarming @GFGFActionDays]

Despite continued promises of more environmentally-friendly policies, 80% of the CAP budget goes to carbon-intensive food production and large-scale farms🐄

This unfair system is destroying our nature and killing small-scale farms📉

We need change now!

[Agroecology Europe @AgroecologyE]

Join @ECVC1 @fugea tomorrow on Rue de la Loi! #Farmers and civil society organisations again take to the streets of #Brussels to reject the EU-#Mercosur #freetrade agreement by @EU_Commission and call for #fari prices and #agroecology transition.

[Agroecology Europe @AgroecologyE]

Keep the #EUGreenDeal solid - it secures future jobs, prosperity, #agroecology & #foodsecurity, and healthy #climate & #nature!

The new @EU_Commission must push for smarter implementation, not roll back ambition. Society and #nature need certainty!

Ahead of tonight's EU-Parliament hearing, the Agri Commissioner-designate suggests better enforcement of existing laws and market-based tools.

How can we address the urgent challenges facing our food systems without bold new measures? #FoodJustice

[EU Food Policy Coalition @EU_FPC]
