The EU must turn the #CAP into a #climate tool 🌾

It is time for European agriculture to cut emissions and help reach climate neutrality by 2050 🌱

Read our latest report with @ecologic.eu to find out how ⬇️

The world produces enough food, yet billions lack access to healthy & sustainable diets. A new EAT–Lancet report presents a science-based approach to improve health, safeguard our environment & provide for a projected 9.6 billion people by 2050.

Cover of the 2025 EAT–Lancet report, featuring an image of a person scooping up green vegetables in their hands from a large plate. The report quote: “The targets of the EAT–Lancet Commission for healthy people on a healthy planet with just food systems can only be met through concerted global action and unprecedented levels of transformative change.”

This story isn‘t about ‘the world‘s taste for soya‘, it‘s about the world‘s taste for meat. The vast majority of soya is grown for animal feed. Less than 10% is for direct human consumption. A shame it‘s not mentioned in the story.

"Maintaining diversity within tree-based farming systems can provide households with more means to diversify their diets with foods from the farm & market. Preserving biodiversity within & around tree-based farming systems may also increase the availability of micronutrient-rich foods in the wild."

Enhancing awareness of the role of trees in promoting ecologically sustainable & nutritious diets is essential for designing more sustainable landscapes for both people & the planet.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
