Better monitoring to support restoration of EU pollinators The Commission has adopted a new Pollinator Monitoring Scheme to help reverse the decline of pollinator populations by 2030.

The EU has published rules for the Pollinator Monitoring Scheme. Butterflies, moths, bees and hoverflies will all be monitored by every Member State. Target to reverse decline in Pollinators by 2030 and increase pops. A big step in conserving biodiversity environment.ec.europa.eu/news/better-...

The #AgroecologyTRANSECT team were in Brussels this week meeting MEPs, DG-Agri, farmers & scientists from across Europe to present two new policy briefs on:
🌱 Expanding agroecology in the EU – barriers & levers for transition
🤝 Producing actionable knowledge for transformative change

Yesterday at @europarl.europa.eu we presented the voices of research & science from three projects: CAP4GI, Agroecology-TRANSECT & EuropeLand. Thank you @mariawalshmep.bsky.social (EPP), Maria Noichl (S&D) & Michal Wiezik (Renew) for hosting, and Elisabeth Werner (DG AGRI) for the discussion!

"What are food systems for? Are they about making money or are they about feeding people in a fair, healthy and sustainable way?" 🌱
