CEJA VP @Kathschob, in the session on risk management of the #EUAgriFoodDays:
“The risks farmers face increasingly jeopardise our ability to get a fair return on our investments, and therefore the attractiveness of the sector.”.
End of a successful plenary session for the @Europarl_EN, which approved its initiative report on the future EU budget with clear messages:
📈Dedicated and increased budget for the Common Agriculture Policy
📑 No to the single-fund policy
Our reaction➡️https://t.co/SbBwdytKUp
In some European regions, wolf packs have become a real danger especially for livestock.
Today, we are proposing a change of EU law that will help local authorities to actively manage wolf populations while protecting both biodiversity and our rural livelihoods.

💡The new regulation proposal sets up welcome and necessary procedures for collaboration between Enforcement Authorities in cross-border Unfair Trading Practices cases but it remains strictly operational. Many challenges need to be addressed beyond this scope!
Great to see Agri Commissioner @CHansenEU kick off his mandate by prioritising dialogue with youth, including CEJA President @MeedendorpPeter and VP @Kathschob
Key topics discussed:
➡️Access to land
➡️Access to finance
➡️Fair Income
➡️Post-2027 CAP
Yesterday’s CEJA working group allowed many exchanges on recent developments, including:

CEJA is at the #EUAgriFoodDays
We brought a delegation of young farmers from all over Europe. (They are not even all on the picture!)
💬 You are on-site, & want to engage?
Meet them! To help you, they all wear a small CEJA-logo badge.
CEJA members meet in Salzburg for a 3-day Seminar full of policy discussions, discovery of Austria’s agricultural policy, farm visits and informal activities organised by our 2 🇦🇹 Members JLW and JLÖ.
CEJA agenda: Vision for Agriculture, MFF, CAP green architecture & much more!
We welcome Commissioner-designate @CHansenEU’s intention to make generational renewal his priority if confirmed after his hearing⤵️
CEJA’s European young farmers stand ready to contribute.
President @MeedendorpPeter is at the @EP_Agriculture public hearing on the outcomes of the Strategic Dialogue on the future of agriculture.
One key message: the outcomes of the Dialogue form a consensual basis for the EU mandate ahead, let’s not make them a political battle.
I’m so impressed with the @G7 Agri-Young Hackathon participants. Their innovative ideas are key to building resilient food systems and finding solutions to end hunger for 300M+ people facing food insecurity today.
