The new European Bioeconomy Strategy shows the way: decarbonise, innovate, and reward our primary producers 🇪🇺🌱

From biofertilisers to biogas we’re creating new income streams for farmers & forest holders and a stronger rural economy.

Turning green ambition into opportunity
🌿We’re launching a new EU Bioeconomy Strategy to cut fossil fuel use and boost green growth.

Using renewable biological resources from land and sea, we’re creating jobs, driving innovation, and promoting circular, sustainable solutions.

Better targeting protects the farms Europe cannot afford to lose

Today's #AGRIFISH discussions make one thing clear: the post-2027 CAP must continue to focus support where it matters most:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family farms
⛰️farms in areas of natural constraints
🌱young farmers
👩‍🌾female farmers

Deal ! 🇪🇺 A major step to protect farmers & suppliers from unfair trading practices

Now we must match ambition with action: only strong, consistent enforcement across borders will make this fairness in the food supply chain real for those who feed Europe

We’ve listened to discussions & concerns to clear the path forward.

EU farmers safeguard our food security. From the outset, our objective has been a strong CAP supporting them & rural areas.

We now have a solid base to continue the work to shape the future CAP & MFF together
Today I had a constructive meeting with @president.europarl.europa.eu and PM Frederiksen to discuss the MFF.

We have clarified and strengthened our objectives in 3 key areas:

Securing the role of the regions, reinforcing the identity of the Common Agricultural Policy and enhancing governance.

Simpler rules, stronger standards! 🌱

Today, I’m listening to farmers, consumers and retailers to streamline EU organic rules, boosting efficiency without compromising quality.

Let’s ensure EU organic farming remains the gold standard 🇪🇺
