We have a deal on EUDR! 🇪🇺

Good news tonight: we have reached an agreement on EUDR. It will not change the law in substance; it simply gives all businesses and farmers 12 extra months to adapt 🌳

⚠️Top EU Court has just delivered a potentially revolutionary ruling on food: If a member state hasn't set a legal name for a food product, it can't use rules to stop producers of plant-based foods from naming their products using descriptive names like "veggie" burger or sausage

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay!🌱This year’s theme is #GenerationRestoration – let’s grow forests, revive water sources, and heal our soils. Switching to plant-based foods is a big win for the environment, better for our soils, water, and natural resources, and drives green growth!💚

TFA labelling should be transparent and provide information covering all sources (i.e. also ruminant sources)

Labelling is a very useful tool to help consumers to make healthy choices. The #EuropeanMargarinesector (IMACE) supports a mandatory nutrition labelling.

🔍 Are we misusing the term #UltraProcessedFoods? Probably yes. There is a fundamental misconception between food processing and food’s health profile.

❓Land use for production of margarine 🧈🌱 is 50% lower than needed to produce butter? Also, CO2 emissions are 1/3rd lower for margarine compared to butter.
Green Claims Dir. should make it possible to compare the sustainbility performance.

TFA labelling should be transparent and provide information covering all sources.

📢Check out the WHO Report https://t.co/nv1TxVSimn
