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. #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Young people want to farm. But they can't afford to access land. If we don’t support a new generation of small- and medium-scale farmers, we risk food grown by fewer and bigger operators, and countryside hollowed out by #BigAg. #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
EU Food Policy Coalition@eufpc.bsky.social · 8mo agoEurope 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. #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
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. #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness #EUAgriFoodDays

Big Agri and Food Businesses built a system where fresh produce is intensely sprayed with #pesticides & cheap junk food is all around. The diets they profit from are harming our environment and health, while public health costs explode. #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
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. #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
Big agribusiness diverts the majority of cropland to feed not people - but *factory farms*. 🤔While claiming to be the solution to hunger. It's called HUNGER WASHING (ht @thinink.bsky.social). 🌱Let's feed people, not factory farms! #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
EU Food Policy Coalition@eufpc.bsky.social · 8mo ago🚨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. #EUAgriFoodDays #FeedPeopleNotAgribusiness
