By 2050, climate change could push food prices up 20%.
Agriculture makes up 12% of EU emissions, yet agribusiness lobbyists block real climate action, like controlling harmful and dangerous levels of industrial animal production.

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 making people sick - 800,000+ deaths every year - while public health costs explode.

Europe is losing its farmers.
5.3 MILLION farms have disappeared since 2005. Small-scale farmland is being eaten up by Big Agri corporations.
Big industrial farms make starting out nearly impossible.

🚨Industrial agriculture consumes most of our food, while millions go hungry in Europe.
Most EU farmland isn’t supporting people - it’s feeding factory farms.
That’s land we need to grow real food and nourish communities.

#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.”

Yet agrifood systems offer immense untapped potential for #ClimateAction — a missed opportunity if left on the sidelines.

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.

😫Not much, if you read #EUAgriVision...
