🌾Food security starts with fertiliser security

For farmers, fertilisers can mean the difference between a harvest and no harvest at all

Across Europe, rising energy prices are ↗️input costs for farmers. This is not just a farming issue. It’s a food security issue for all of us

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Europe's food security depends on fertilisers.

With this Action Plan, we are investing in a stronger European fertiliser industry, supporting European farmers and accelerating innovation in sustainable, home-grown solutions.

Securing the future of farming in Europe.

Today, the EU-Mercosur agreement begins to apply provisionally.

The benefits are real and visible as of now.

Tariffs start falling.

Companies are gaining access to new markets.

Investors have the predictability they need.

Provisional application will show the agreement’s tangible benefits.

And how legitimate sensivities have been adressed.

Giving @Europarl_EN and Member States the fullest evidence-based picture to carry out their democratic oversight.

Farmers spoke. We listened.

Today we brought 🇪🇺 Ministers together to take stock and reflect on the way forward for CAP funding, reciprocity on imports & easing the burden of costs and rules on farmers.

Turning farmers’ concerns into political action for Europe’s food security.

[Marina Brakalova @brakalova_RD]

Important insights #POLITICOSustainableSummit. DG Werner highlights continuity of CAP for next MFF. Capacity and resilience of farmers to produce across EU territory over time are key for EU #foodsecurity. @EUAgri

[Christophe Hansen @CHansenEU]

Better targeting protects the farms Europe cannot afford to lose

Today's #AGRIFISH discussions make one thing clear: the post-2027 CAP must continue to focus support where it matters most:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family farms
⛰️farms in areas of natural constraints
🌱young farmers
👩‍🌾female farmers
