    What type of agriculture do you want ?

    40% of European funds is spent on agriculture. That's around 114 euros per person, per year. But this question is never asked: what kind of agriculture do YOU want? If you want to have a say on Common Agricultural Policy, try this interactive CAP reform tool to help us improve EU food systems and agriculture.

    After years of deadlock and political nightmares, are we finally ready to change the discussion on GMOs?

    Today, the European Parliament backed four objections against the authorisation for import of new GM plants into the EU, bringing the total number of such objections to 31 in just over three years. Nevertheless, the European Commission decided to override this opposition and to authorize 24 of them. Why and how did we end up in this polit…

    Parliament calls for more transparency on the authorisation of pesticides and additives in the food chain

    Members of the European Parliament voted in favour of greater transparency around the authorisation of pesticides, GMOs and additives in the food chain.

    Few words carry a more positive image than “innovation”: solving humanities’ problems, bringing comfort, relief and fun. So why the hell are the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament opposing the introduction of the so-called “innovation principle” in the Horizon Europe Regulation, which will be setting the terms for the next 160 billion …
