Food is a human right. Yet millions across Europe lack access to good food, while Big Ag profits from food systems that harm our health, farmers, animals, and nature.
That needs to stop, now.

💧🎉 25 years of the EU Water Framework Directive - protecting rivers, lakes & coasts as a shared public good.
Now it’s at risk: @ec.europa.eu has promised to amend the WFD. This would weaken protections against pollution, biodiversity loss & climate impacts🚨

🚨 The EU Commission is tearing down pesticide safeguards that protect our health.
Open-ended approvals. More time for toxic chemicals. Less science. More exposure - for farmers, families, all of us.
This is not simplification. It’s dangerous.
The European Parliament & Council must stop it. Now 📢

🧑🍼 It's a... soil law! 🎉
Europe’s #SoilMonitoringLaw enters into force today – meaning that the EU's first ever soil law has a b-earth-day!
But dad jokes aside, the real test starts now.
Given the law’s high flexibility, serious impact will depend on ambitious implementation by Member States.

A handful of corporations control what we eat - and profit from it 👨💼🤑
Seeds, pesticides, machinery, carbon credits, fertilisers, even poultry genetics. That’s not free choice - that’s corporate monopolies.

Food corporations built a system where junk is cheap, everywhere, and aggressively marketed.
The diets they profit off are killing people - 800,000+ deaths every year in Europe - while public health costs explode.
