Agricultural intensification has led to the introduction of a small number of high-performing, specialised international breeds. This trend, coupled with the demands of intensive, industrialised livestock farming and global economic development, has led to a decline in local breed populations.

We are losing, across Europe, the unique genetic heritage of our local livestock — shaped by the hands and wisdom of generations of Europeans before us. This poses a serious threat to food security, human health and species adaption to environmental change.

Did you know that... fertilisers are tied to soaring food prices 🍞💸?
In 2022, as gas prices surged, so did food costs — leaving families skipping meals while fertiliser companies reported record profits.
Time to make farming less reliant on fossil fuels!

True simplification strengthens rules, reduces unnecessary bureaucracy, and ensures sustainable farming, healthy food, and corporate accountability.
#DeregulationWave #SOTEU2025

Robust food safety standards, environmental protection, and climate action are essential for a resilient #FoodSystem. Strengthening — rather than weakening — them is key to ensuring healthy food, protecting ecosystems and securing farmers’ and fishers’ livelihoods.
