The European city banning all fossil fuel and meat adverts in public
Amsterdam initially proposed the move in 2020, becoming the first city in the world to do so.
“Amsterdam is set to ban climate-damaging advertising in public spaces, following a trend spreading across Dutch cities.
The capital of the Netherlands will prohibit both fossil fuel and meat adverts under the new measure.”

Selling Nature: the EU's role in creating markets for biodiversity
As the ecological crisis accelerates, the EU is promoting “nature credits” as a supposed solution – inviting markets to help fix what markets have helped destroy. Forests, wetlands, coastlines and far...
#NatureCredits won’t save nature, they’ll commodify it.
We can’t keep inviting markets to 'fix' what they helped destroy. The carbon credits fiasco is proof enough
So why is the EU Commission pushing this? Read our 🆕 study with @rosaluxeu.bsky.social on the motivations & interest groups behind it👇

Sadly, this 👇 isn’t from a random site promoting keto.
It’s the newly updated U.S. Dietary Guidelines food pyramid, the official advice on how Americans should eat.
Deeply disconnected from what nutrition science actually shows…

By 2050, climate change could push food prices up 20%.
Agriculture makes up 12% of EU emissions, yet agribusiness lobbyists block real climate action, like controlling harmful and dangerous levels of industrial animal production.

Agribusiness monopolies drive up food prices & crush farmers. Let's take back control of our food!
Market concentration in #foodsystems is deepening, with serious consequences for farmers, consumers & food access.
#BigAg monopolies drive up costs, limit choice, weaken farmer autonomy, & leave food systems exposed to shocks. Break them up.

@eurovia.org’s M. Courgeau nails it: the fact that parts of the population struggle to afford food is not a reason to keep racing toward ever-cheaper food. We need strong social policies, transformed #FoodEnvironments and public procurement to make sustainable food accessible to all.

@greenpeace.eu’s Marco Contiero denounces the lack of political will to pursue a true #FoodSystem transformation. Rolling back environmental protections will hurt farmers, who need stability, a clear direction of travel, and fair remuneration for their work.

“The agroecological transition is not a choice”, @eurovia.org’s Mathieu Courgeau tells #EUAgriFoodDays. Farmers want fair prices, policy coherence (trade), a long-term perspective - yet political responses are moving in the opposite direction, with deregulation bringing uncertainty.

“Love it, leave it, or change it.”
Fairebel was born out of some Belgian dairy farmers’ frustration with the CAP and their determination to earn a fair income from their work.
Today, FairCoop’s President shares this success story of fair remuneration with the #EUAgriFoodDays audience.

At #EUAgriFoodDays, MEP Elsi Katainen reflects on the post-2027 CAP proposal and what it means for farm subsidies, and flags the upcoming review of the #UTP Directive (Unfair Trading Practices) as a key priority to ensure farmers get fair and remunerative prices from the market.

Synthetic chemicals in food system creating health burden of $2.2tn a year, report finds
Scientists issue urgent warning about chemicals, found to cause cancer and infertility as well as harming environment
"There’s been this incredible increase in rates of NCDs. There’s no single factor there … but the evidence is very clear that increasing exposure to hundreds, maybe even thousands of manufactured chemicals is a very important cause of disease in kids.”

Can the EU chart a sustainable transition to greater protein self-sufficiency?
A combination of production-related measures and healthier, more plant-based diet can help tackle EU’s vulnerability related to high-protein feed and benefit the environment.
Industrial agriculture consumes most of our food, while millions go hungry in Europe.
Most EU farmland isn’t supporting people - it’s feeding factory farms.
That’s land we need to grow real food and nourish communities.

Updated Dutch eating guidelines advise more legumes 🫘 🫛 and less meat (less than 200g red meat/week). The Dutch Health Council said a more plant-based and less animal-based diet is better for health and benefits the environment.

Raise your voice for safe food and nature free from toxic pesticides
The European Commission is on a roll. After proposing to destroy Europe’s corporate sustainability law, they now want to attack various food laws, including on pesticide protection.
As citizens, we too can raise our voice for safe food & nature free from toxic pesticides. @foeeurope.bsky.social developed a super handy tool allowing you to tell the EU Commissioner from your country to block these changes. Let’s make sure they hear from us!

Commission refuses to allow more water in chicken meat | Euractiv
Producers say that the current limits don’t apply to today’s fast-growing animals
Not only do fast-growing broiler chicken suffer many welfare issues, but consumers buying such meat are paying water for the price of protein.
Good that the Commission is rejecting calls to weaken rules that protect systems better for animals and consumer wallets.

🚨Worrying news in Brussels.
The EU Commission is proposing to quietly slash Europe’s vital #pesticide safety laws – granting unlimited approvals & sidelining independent science.
This puts nature, workers safety & people's health at risk – just when stronger protections are needed.
