Jean-Mathieu Thévenot de la Confédération paysanne s’exprime sur l’accord UE–Maroc. ECVC dénonce cet accord renégocié en violation du droit du peuple Sahraoui à l’autodétermination, comme l’a pourtant exigé la Cour de Justice de l’UE. 👉🔗https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ccr478PkZ/

Today in the EP, Michael Fakhri, Geneviève Savigny (UN Working Group on UNDROP) and Vincent Delobel (member of FUGEA and ECVC) presented the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Peasants. UNDROP is key to achieving the right to food in Europe! 👉 https://ow.ly/7Rfn50XaC0l

ECVC denounces the EU–Morocco deal! This agreement undermines the CJEU ruling & serves transnational corporations over the Saharawi people & local peasants. ECVC stands with European & Moroccan peasants. We urge the European Parliament to reject this deal! ow.ly/wYGy50X9HJJ

¡La PAC debe estar al servicio de los ciudadanos, no de la agroindustria! 👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾 Exigimos una Política Agrícola Común que apoye a lxs campesinxs y a la agroecología. Los alimentos son un derecho, no una mercancía. ¡Prioridad a lxs campesinxs y lxs ciudadanxs! #Agroecología

Farmers are disappearing at an alarming rate. Every day, small farms close, replaced by industrial models. The next CAP must stop this trend & build food sovereignty. 👉 https://www.eurovia.org/publications/ecvc-position-paper-post-2027-cap-building-food-sovereignty/

La PAC doit servir les personnes, pas l’agro-industrie ! 🧑‍🌾👩‍🌾 L’ECVC appelle à soutenir les petites fermes, les nouveaux·elles paysan·nes et l’agroécologie. L’alimentation est un droit : la PAC doit mettre les paysan·nes et citoyen·nes en premier ✊

Farmers must be able to exchange & use their seeds 🌱 The potential suppression of Article 30 of the proposed European legislation on plant reproductive material threatens biodiversity and farmers' rights & contradicts international law ✊ 👉 https://ow.ly/AKyu50X2OjW

Seeds are life, not commodities! EU proposals threaten biodiversity with patented seeds. Farmers must decide our food's future! 👉 www.eurovia.org/publications...

@eurovia.org reaction to the Agriculture simplification package of May 2025 by the Agri commission

Minister Lollobrigida demands more info for consumers through labeling but supports NGTs. The proposed new regulation will rather remove requirements to label NGTs, removing consumer choice. Contradiction shows how false "tecnofixes" are really to increase big-agri profit & control! #EUAgriVision

Great to hear Rural Youth Europe underline the importance of fair prices and being able to make a living from farming, as was underlined in yesterdays Youth Policy Dialogue. This must be at the centre of generation renewal if we want farming to be attractive to young people #EUAgriVision

ECVC Youth Policy Dialogue representatives so far disappointed - @christophehansen.bsky.social promises to take youth input seriously but has failed to focus on key consensual priorities so far. Young farmers must be heard and included in the vision, not placated. #EUAgriVision

Hopefully the commitment to supporting youth, women and diversity among farmers are is more evident than in today’s first panel. The Youth Policy Dialogue and Women in Farming Platform must not be siloed but rather lead to structural consultation of these groups in policy spaces #EUAgriVision

The @ec.europa.eu and @christophehansen.bsky.social insists we need “evolution not revolution” - but farmers cannot survive under the current status quo. 3 million farms have been lost. Only real change will protect the 9 million remaining and support new farmers in the sector. #EUAgriVision

“Over the last 10 years the EU has most 3 million farms and we need to protect the last 9 million farms that remain. […] We need to support young farmers to enable them to start farming to give them access to knowledge, credit and land” - @christophehansen.bsky.social

Ready to defend the demande of small- and medium-scale farmers at today’s #VisionConference with @christophehansen.bsky.social.

🧑‍🌾Today, as part of the International Day of Peasant Struggles, the ECVC launches its campaign to put agrarian reform and fair (re)distribution of land at the heart of the political agenda in Europe. Check out the thread! 👉 #17April #PeasantStruggles

📢⚠️Trump's trade war will greatly impact agriculture, hitting farmers who export goods and those facing more competition on the domestic market. But, new FTAs are not the solution! Europe must decrease dependencies and strengthen food sovereignty! 👉: www.eurovia.org/press-releas...

Christophe Alliot (Le BASIC), explains that in France, public money is used to support a small number of big companies, not only through CAP, but also tax cuts and other subsidies. These companies practices have negative impacts on society: health, environment, working conditions

Andoni Garcia Arriola, from ECVC Coordinating Committee, declared : "as farmers, as ECVC, we are hopeful. We have been demanding for years to have prices that cover production costs, and in this moment we have hope that in the next PAC, these demands will be taken into account"

Prices, access to land and international food sovereignty are necessary to have thousands of young and new people installing in agriculture. ECVC Youth shared @christophehansen.bsky.social our priorities for the Generational Renewal Action Plan to be published this year.

Commisisoner @christophehansen.bsky.social on targeted subsidies “You have some companies - I don’t want to call farmers – they get CAP money but they are huge industrial consortia that have the whole value chain in their hands. 1/2

Good to hear @christophehansen.bsky.social recognise that “farmers want to live from their work and not from subsidies”. Today’s conference is a key opportunity to co-construct knowledge with farmers, academics, policy makers and CSO to address the need for fair prices via market regulation!

Today, farmers, academics, policy makers and CSOs gather to address the need for #Fairpricesforfarmers. Join the livestream now for @christophehansen.bsky.social’s view on the CAP: tr.ee/hrG3kV2amh
