    Stop speculators gambling with our food and energy prices - and our lives

    Benoît Biteau Karima Delli Bas Eickhout Ernest Urtasun
    Opinion by Benoît Biteau & Karima Delli & Bas Eickhout & Ernest Urtasun
    Food prices are going up, but who is profiting? What is food speculation and how does it drive up prices for basic foods that we rely on, like grain and wheat? And what can we do to tackle this problem?

    Proposed EU regulation on deforestation and forest degradation

    Our case study on EU soy and beef imports from South America shows that this narrow focus on protecting FAO “forests” could increase pressure on other precious ecosystems. As proposed, the legislation would leave three quarters of the Cerrado (79 million hectares) and a third of the Gran Chaco (32 million hectares) unprotected.
