💥 BLACK FRIDAY FAIL 💥

We need more well-being, not more useless stuff 💯

Overconsumption is eating up our future. Even buying “green” reinforces a system based on overextraction and overproduction. Time to reset our economies!

Will @eppgroup.bsky.social listen to Europe’s 2nd biggest supermarket and defend the labelling for all generations of GMOs in the negotiations with the Council?

Klares Zeichen: Züchter, Bauern, Verarbeiter und Händler von Lebensmitteln wollen auch in Zukunft – durch effektive Koexistenz- und Haftungsregeln – gentechnikfrei wirtschaften können. So die Botschaft heute in München von einem breiten Bündnis gegen die Deregulierung der neuen Gentechnik

Tolle Aktion von @peoplevsbigtech.bsky.social u.a. in Brüssel: Die EU darf dem Lobbydruck von Big Tech und Trump nicht nachgeben! Die Digitalregeln und das Wettbewerbsrecht müssen wirksam durchgesetzt werden. Es ist Zeit, Google zu zerschlagen!

Thanks Alemanno for summing up in one Oped how @eppgroup.bsky.social and far right
fabricate a scandal, delegitimise and defund organisations, then criminalise their new funding as foreign influence, all while continuing to demand NGOs services for consumer protection & digital rights enforcement.
How NGOs die

This is Europe's playbook for dismantling democracy

On #WorldFoodDay, the EU Commission should take note: farmers & cities across Europe prove food can be grown without pesticides 🌱

A fairer, healthier food system is possible. Time for policies that support it!

We have 5 days left to tell lawmakers why clean food, safe working conditions and our nature needs our voice against toxic pesticides #ProtectMyPlate
🍽️ 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.

Who has the many speeches where Ursula swore simplification was not deregulation? Was not last time just a month ago for SotUE?

Dropping the pretence, then, I see.

The protection of our food, soil, and water from harmful chemicals is a necessity, not a burden. Take few minutes to tell this EU lawmakers before 14 October

Indeed unwanted contamination will rapidly and repeatedly occur and it will be not reversible. As a geneticist and organic farmer, but more so as a mother feeding her children I cannot understand how this is not alarming and how it is not a political priority.

This proposal is incompatible with farmers' rights on seeds, and would simply legalize biopiracy by allowing the extension of the scope of patents to native seeds. This will only benefit to patent-holding multinationals, at the expense of European farmers, small seed breeders and agrobiodiversity
