This 'destroy the rules' movement willingly ignores the actual cost: when business skips environmental rules, WE all pay with our health, polluted rivers and air + damaged farmlands. Protecting the environment is protecting society. It's not a burden, it's the bare minimum. #Omnibus #Deregulation

🌐COP 30 Side Event tomorrow: Prospects & challenges for real people-led climate solutions. 🚨Frontline communities forging people-led climate solutions grounded in their lived realities & struggles for justice. 📢Join FIAN Colombia & allies to hear more. #COP30 #PeoplesSummit #IndigenousPeoples

Today the European Parliament approved its Omnibus I mandate, weakening #CSDDD. By siding with far-right forces and corporate lobbies, MEPs signal that EU values and the rights of women and communities in the global South are negotiable when they collide with short-term corporate profit.

GRAIN en la COP30: ¡Únete a nosotros en los siguientes eventos! 13 Nov, 2 PM hora de Brasil 📍Tienda Berta Caceres - UFPA Cupula dos Povos

"Since 2021, the number of new regenerative farmers declined, raising concerns that the focus shifted from farming to marketing driven by multinational companies." #agsky #agriculture #farming

🚨 Big Agribusiness has come to #COP30 – and it’s not here for #ClimateJustice. @desmog.com reveals 141 influence routes used by JBS, Nestlé, Bayer & others to greenwash their image, lobby for weak metrics & grab climate finance. 📖 Must-read: www.desmog.com/2025/11/10/m... #FoodSystems

"This is the exact opposite way to really deal with #FoodSystems and #ClimateChange. These companies have too much at stake, too much of a direct conflict.” #BigMeat #BigAg civileats.com/2025/11/12/a...

😍 We want more of this : in Mexico, young Purépecha leaders are reviving family medicinal gardens to save their ancestral health wisdom and fight back against the crisis caused by berry monoculture. #agsky #FoodJustice #SlowFood www.slowfood.com/blog-and-new...

If anyone still doubts how connected our food and climate systems are, this week’s State of Food and Agriculture (SOFA) report from the FAO is a reminder. The 2025 edition focuses on land degradation after two years of emphasis on true cost accounting. news.thin-ink.net/p/who-owns-t...

🥳 HUGE win! Cuba just made history by formalizing #agroecology as national law (Decree No. 128). And this isn't a top-down reform, but the institutionalization of a powerful, people-led movement that's been growing for over 30 years. Farmers leading policy! #agsky

Yup, this week's title is a play on that famous saying. But my answer differs from the usual one, which is "one bite at a time". This is because we're talking about a different elephant here: power in food systems, who has it, who doesn't, and how to tackle it. news.thin-ink.net/p/how-to-eat...

When local communities win their lands back from giant corporations to grow real food, you know it is a very good day 🤩 #FoodJustice

This megafarm "emissions scandal" is agribusiness hiding 634k tonnes CO2 + outsourcing deforestation costs (Amazon soy feed) to maximize profit. This isn't just about pollution; it's about a deeply unfair system. Shout out to local residents for refusing this 👏

"If food sovereignty means having local control over food systems, how can we do that if we're all in debt?" With the 2025 Nyéléni Forum in Sri Lanka as a backdrop, Raj Patel argues that debt is the central mechanism maintaining a neo-colonial food system. progressive.international/wire/2025-11...

We can’t solve the #ClimateCrisis by outsourcing pollution. We need real change at home! 📢 That means ditching the industrial model + financing #agroecology + freeing #FoodSystems from fossil fuel dependency + rejecting false solutions like carbon offsets. www.politico.eu/article/eu-c...

"Democracy is not a once-every-four-years exercise. Civil society is how people’s concerns reach power between elections – turning participation into accountability and preventing democracy from becoming a spectator sport." Spot on op-ed by colleagues at @eeb.org 👇 euobserver.com/eu-political...

☕ "We don’t haggle over cents at the expense of producers. #Coffee is not a bargain-basement product—it’s craft, culture, and livelihood." Ethical roasters are rejecting the colonial mindset and paying producers what they're worth. Find out how 👇 #CoffeeNerds

Distrust is soaring because people feel powerless against ultraprocessed foods + green & healthwashing. Transparency isn't about better tech; it's about giving consumers back the control to choose truly good, clean #food. #UPF #Labelling www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2025...

Hey New York friends! I hope you can attend this book talk I'm doing on Nov. 19, 6 pm at @nysoclib.bsky.social. I'll be in conversation with @slowfoodhq.bsky.social NYC's Richa Mehta! #reapingwhatshesows @melvillehouse.bsky.social #newbook

Nearly 40% of the world's workers are in #FoodSystems. What keeps them strong against #climate & inequality? 🤝 Solidarity. It’s an act of belonging, not charity. Read the story of our community in #SlowFood Kenya 👇 www.slowfood.com/blog-and-new...

The EU's watchdog is finally launching an inquiry into the EU Commission's secretive meetings with big business lobbyists on the 'simplification agenda.' 🧐 When controversial, rushed policy changes are being made, the public deserves more than a vague summary.

The EU is currently negotiating new rules for the seed market. Groups are calling on EU decision makers to not succumb to the industry's pressure, but to protect and promote crops diversity and farmers’ right to harvest, use, exchange and sell their seed! 👉🏽mitmachen.arche-noah.at/en/raise-our...

🐌 Very proud to see #TerraMadre landing in Asia-Pacific! Our communities there will host 2,000 delegates from 20+ countries (from Japan to New Zealand): 📍 in Bacolod, Philippines 🗓️ Nov 19-23, 2025 This is historic step for the #SlowFood movement!

#COP30, where the world’s biggest meat & dairy producers will explain how they are the real #climate heroes. 🐄🔥 Let the #greenwashing games begin... A must read by @desmog.com.web.brid.gy 👇👀 www.desmog.com/2025/10/26/b...

The "productivity vs. environment" debate is a false choice. If we don't address ecological damage & #biodiversity loss NOW, productivity WILL crash. You can't produce food from exhausted soil or with a broken #climate. EU leaders need to see the whole picture!

1/2 🧵 ❓ How Europe is killing its NGOs ✒️ In his latest column for @euobserver.com, Prof. @alemanno.bsky.social, unveils how national governments and EU institutions are attacking CSOs while continuing to demand NGOs services. 🗞️ Read more: euobserver.com/eu-political...

Long-read whole genome sequencing the only way to confirm absence of foreign DNA in (new #GMO) gene-edited products. New scientific article warns of loss of consumer trust unless proper analysis is done. gmwatch.org/en/106-news/...

📢 Food is a human right, not a commodity! This October, our communities mobilized for the EU Action Days with 1 message for EU leaders: public money must support fair farmer incomes & healthy food for all. @gfgf-europe.bsky.social All highlights 👇 www.slowfood.com/blog-and-new... #FoodJustice

🧐 How many chemicals are we all wearing? A new study had neighbors near farms wear wristbands & they found up to 11 different #pesticides on their skin. They are inescapable, even banned ones. EU countries must stop funding the problem & invest in the solution (#Agroecology👋)

UN Chief Guterres is absolutely right: "The best guardians of nature are precisely the #Indigenous communities." 🌿 With the 1.5°C goal slipping, investing in their leadership at #COP30 must be a top priority. #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Healthy food starts with healthy soil. Yet toxic #pesticides still poison both. 📢 We’ve joined 137 other organisations calling on the EU to finally enforce its own laws & help farmers grow good, clean & fair food. #PesticideFreeEU #SlowFood Our letter 👉 www.slowfood.com/wp-content/u...

Our president @edie-mukiibi.bsky.social is back from #TerraMadre Shaki, Azerbaijan! 👏From the stunning Caucasus to meeting incredible producers (like the 2,000-hive beekeeper!), this inaugural event confirms it: protecting local food & #biodiversity is a civic act. www.slowfood.com/blog-and-new...

“Schools, hospitals, prisons have to be built with kitchens. We need schools to feed our kids healthy food but we also need to teach children what healthy food is and what good food tastes like.” My latest column. www.thenational.scot/politics/255...

😤 And once again, food's off the table...Even if we quit fossil fuels, today’s food systems alone could push us past 1.5°C. The recent EAT-Lancet report couldn’t be clearer: no #FoodSystem transformation, no #climate future. #EUClimate #COP30 www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

📢 Today, EU lawmakers listened to citizens and science and rubber-stamped the deal on the Soil Monitoring Law, the EU’s first-ever law on soil health, after months of negotiations 🪱 @eeb.org @ecos.ngo www.pan-europe.info/press-releas...

Wild stat from @ciwf.eu: in the EU, we waste 2x as much food feeding grain to factory-farmed animals as we do throwing it away. Meanwhile, millions go hungry. Here’s a thought, EU leaders: how about using public money to grow food for people, not feed for profit?

🙄 They say it’s what “farmers want.” But new farmers (the ones who’ll feed Europe tomorrow) want soil protection. Maybe it’s time EU policymakers stopped confusing “farm lobbies” with “farmers.” #EUSoilLaw #HealthySoils

🙌 New seeds of leadership are growing in Kenya's Nakuru! 33 #SlowFood leaders from 14 African countries are joining forces to build fairer #FoodSystems, share knowledge & strengthen the network across the continent. 🌱 Time to cultivate the next generation! bit.ly/47ltBLQ

🤔 Curious about the "beautified" version of the @ec.europa.eu's work programme for 2026... 🤩Imagine it were one with all the missing initiatives (policies to promote healthier diets, animal welfare...) and without the deregulation 'omnibuses' .. (🙃 it's just the same with a cover page..)

Tune in at 9am CET today to watch decision-makers discuss how to move forward with a #CageBan in the EU! Speakers from across the board will present on what's needed to #EndTheCageAge: a move which would finally align with the wish of 1.4 million citizens. ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wQvEjVsgTE

🗣️ “Europe must sow peace again, starting from its fields.” At the UN Assembly of Peoples, Slow Food's Francesco Sottile called for a new pact for #food & #agriculture: one that sees land as a common good and farmers as peacemakers, not profit tools. #agsky Read full speech 👉 bit.ly/3KZPTvq

#Soils host an immense amount of biodiversity 🪱🐝 and functions 💧🥕🌱. They are the basis of all life, and essential to our well-being. As they are degrading fast, due to #pesticide pollution and many other impacts, an #EUSoilLaw is long overdue. www.pan-europe.info/resources/le...

The EU’s #deregulation machine is running full-speed - and the Commission isn't keen on letting the public see how it works In less than a year the Commission had 605 meetings with lobbyists on ‘simplification’ but #transparency is deeply insufficient New post: corporateeurope.org/en/deregulat...

No hay justicia climática sin justicia alimentaria. Este #WorldFoodDay, instamos a los líderes mundiales que se dirigen a la #COP30 a poner la transformación del sistema alimentario en el centro de la acción climática. Agroecología, biodiversidad, dignidad. Para las personas y el planeta.

🌍 There’s no #climate justice without food justice. This #WorldFoodDay, we urge world leaders heading to #COP30 to put food system transformation at the heart of climate action. Agroecology, biodiversity, dignity. For people and planet. Our demands 👉 bit.ly/47bVKVN #agsky #slowfood

😍 No big machines, no shortcuts, just care, soil & community -- this is how Erica in Sweden and Maarja in Denmark have decided to run things on their farms. #Agroecology is their roadmap and their end game! #slowfood What does it concretely look like? Have a read 👇 www.slowfood.com/blog-and-new...

🐐 6 hours a day, Luc Falcot walked the hills of Provence w/ his goats, not just herding, but protecting an ecosystem. He fought for #AnimalWelfare, landscapes & "Brousse du Rove", France’s smallest PDO cheese. Luc is gone but his legacy grazes on 👏 Read his story www.slowfood.com/blog-and-new...

🫒 This isn’t your usual “innovation in agriculture” story. In southern #Türkiye, the Sarı Ulak olive (once nearly lost !!) is making a comeback thanks to farmers who never stopped believing in their land. True #Agroecology, no buzzwords. #agriculture #slowfood www.slowfood.com/blog-and-new...
