🌍 Our #MaterialFootprint is shrinking — but not fast enough. Each person in the EU uses 14 tonnes of materials per year — 5% less than in 2010, but still well above sustainable levels. 🔗 Read more in the new EEA indicator: www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/... #MaterialFootprint #CircularEconomy

🌱 Organic farming in Europe is growing, but is still far from the 25% #EUGreenDeal target for 2030. Organic #agriculture helps protect #biodiversity, soil, and water quality — key to a healthier, more sustainable food system. 🔗 Learn more from our new indicator: www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/...
