It’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to ask for help. 💚 Long working hours, financial pressures and isolation can take a toll on farmers’ mental health. 🌾 On World Mental Health Day, take a moment to check in on a friend, a family member and yourself, too. 💚

Devant l’Assemblée nationale 🇫🇷, un message clair : l’agriculture est un enjeu stratégique pour l’Europe. Compétitivité, souveraineté, résilience : la PAC reste notre socle. Et pour la défendre, la France est un allié essentiel au service de nos agriculteurs.

Enlargement is a geopolitical imperative for Europe. We need to prepare our institutions, uphold our standards and ensure a level playing field. Where necessary, we must safeguard our farmers as we manage the transition. The goal is not simply a bigger EU. It is a stronger EU.

The reported attack on a vessel carrying Ukrainian grain is deeply concerning. Weaponising food & disrupting agricultural trade has consequences far beyond the battlefield: putting pressure on food prices & availability, and the risk of pushing millions more into food insecurity.

I reaffirmed the EU’s support for Ukraine’s resilience amid Russia’s brutal attacks to 🇺🇦 Minister @VysotskyiTaras Restoring export capacity during harvest is essential. We are strengthening trade logistics, and working to facilitate access to traditional markets.

Quando gli agricoltori italiani affrontano momenti difficili, l’Europa non si tira indietro. Oltre €73 milioni di fondi UE per sostenere chi è stato colpito da influenza aviaria e peste suina africana. È questa l’Europa che sta al fianco dei suoi agricoltori 🇪🇺🤝🇮🇹

Livestock is a strategic sector for Europe & poultry is showing its potential. With @eupoultry.bsky.social we focused on what’s needed for this strategic sector: innovation, research, and investment to make European production➕competitive and resilient

Sustainable agriculture is about more than food. At the @eesc.bsky.social plenary, we discussed how organic and social farms create jobs, support inclusion and open opportunities in rural communities 👉 The next CAP must reflect this, with a dedicated rural target and backed by adequate funding

Merci Benjamin Haddad pour cet échange intéressant, quelques mois après notre première rencontre, pour faire le point sur les avancées des discussions budgétaires et la place de la Politique Agricole Commune. Nous partageons la même ambition pour nos agriculteurs.

Europeans are telling us loud and clear: agriculture is strategic for Europe. They know the CAP delivers for farmers, food security, consumers & rural areas. And almost 8/10 say EU origin matters when buying food. We need policies that reflect that 🔜 European Food campaign
