🌍 Today is #WorldOvershootDay, the date when humanity’s demand for natural resources exceeds what the planet can regenerate in a year.

Europe’s material footprint is above the global average: www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/...

Time to use resources wisely. ♻️

With the Farm to Fork Strategy, the EU made great strides toward implementing a true #FoodSystems approach.
Sadly, progress has stalled. This new @fao.org report is a timely reminder of why it matters — and how to get back on track! 💪

As we await the EU's #2040Target climate proposal, signs suggest we may be headed for disappointment.

Yet agrifood systems offer immense untapped potential for #ClimateAction — a missed opportunity if left on the sidelines.

Transformation to a healthy food system is blocked by three key barriers Nairobi, 1 July 2025 – Despite its critical role in sustaining billions of lives, the global food system fails to deliver for health, rights, and particularly, nature. A report published today by the ...

New report by @unep.org and @chathamhouse.org argues #FoodSystems transformation is hampered by 3 lock-ins:
1️⃣ the “cheap food” paradigm
2️⃣ market concentration (and vested interests of those who benefit from statu quo)
3️⃣ investment path dependencies

#Food & farming =
🔥15% of fossil fuel use

Using institutional mechanisms to intimidate those who defend public interests, climate, the environment and human rights is a dangerous precedent - one imported straight from the illiberal playbook.

🚨 Despite @ec.europa.eu confirming that EU funding to NGOs is lawful and transparent, a faction of MEPs have establish a working group to scrutinise a fabricated tale of “occult financing”.

We urge democratic forces to oppose this smear campaign and stand up for a healthy European democracy!

🌍 As a group of 17 CSOs and farmers representatives wrote last week, the EU must unlock the #climate potential of our #FoodSystems — not backtrack on its commitments.
