#GlobalFertilizerDay 🤔 Should we celebrate?
Did you know that... fertilisers are tied to soaring food prices 🍞💸?
In 2022, as gas prices surged, so did food costs — leaving families skipping meals while fertiliser companies reported record profits.
Time to make farming less reliant on fossil fuels!

Farmers don’t win when rules are gutted. Agribusiness does. We all rely on clean water, healthy soils & strong ecosystems to grow food — those protections are being sold off as “red tape.”

As we await the EU's #2040Target climate proposal, signs suggest we may be headed for disappointment.
Yet agrifood systems offer immense untapped potential for #ClimateAction — a missed opportunity if left on the sidelines.

👨🌾 Farmers are already grappling with the impacts of climate change. It’s time to ensure they are central to the EU’s climate solution with an ambitious and binding #2040Target for emission reduction as part of the wider transition to agroecology.

Cutting emissions by at least 90% by 2040 is key to EU security and competitiveness, according to @esabcc.bsky.social.
One sector holds untapped potential: #FoodSystems.
A transition to #agroecology, combined with healthier diets, can play a pivotal role in achieving the EU’s climate goals.

😱 Since 2005, 5 million farms disappeared, while 80% of funds go to just 20%.
With their new campaign #ThisIsNotAFarm launched today, @wemoveeurope.bsky.social uses Magritte-style art to demand reform.

Whilst informing people about lifestyles and cancer risk is necessary, what we need is to create a healthier society — including healthier #FoodEnvironments — where cancer risk factors (such as poor diets) are less likely to develop in the first place. #EWAC2025 #GoodFood4EU #ThinkFoodSystems

🤔What can the EU do to promote fair #FoodEnvironments?
😫Not much, if you read #EUAgriVision...
💡Yet in fact, there's *a lot* the EU could do, starting with facilitating best practice exchange amongst EU countries and presenting an EU Action Plan for Plant-Based Foods.

A #FoodSystems approach isn’t a buzzword. It’s how we connect farming, fishing, food, climate, health, social justice, animal welfare… and more.
