🍽️ Food concerns everyone, so do the rules that protect it. If the EU rolls back food & pesticide laws, we all lose: our health, nature, clean water
We built these protections together over time. We have 7 days to defend them.

Let's be clear here: over 100.000 people flocked to the streets in Brussels yesterday.
They're not asking for personal support from an individual.
They’re demanding a minister who acts — and holds his government accountable to international law and the fight against genocide.

Belgian Foreign Affairs Minister reiterates call for sanctions on Israel
"Honestly: little Belgium will not be able to make Israel bend. That has to happen at the European level."

LobbyControl discovered fake 'transparency NGO' that attacks real NGOs defending the public interest.
Behind it? Former & current chemical industry lobbyists.
On their website, no disclosure that one of the founders is Christian Maertin, Head of Communications at Bayer; nor how they are funded! 👇

This isn’t a war. It’s a genocide. Over 54,000 people in Gaza killed. The EU still rewards Israel with a 16B€/year trade deal. We can help suspend it — sign the petition now! share.myvoice-mychoice.org/s/DwkfDnww

Tramadol, amoxicillin. A glimpse of what we found in the soil during a cleanup in Albufera, a natural reserve in Valencia hit hard by the floods last year.
Tons of polluting pharmaceuticals from Fedefarma were washed away, but the corporation refuses to take responsibility. Help spread the word!

In Brussels today we targeted pesticide lobby group Croplife Europe uniting Big Polluters like Bayer, BASF, Syngenta and Corteva.
Debt collectors presented them the bill for the harm they cause!

EU ambassadors just struck a deal on a wide deregulation of #NewGMOs, ignoring public demands for labelling, safety checks, monitoring & accountability.
It's a dark day for farmers, consumers, nature. It's a free pass for Big Agri to cash in.

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
