*Greenpeace EU agricultural policy director Marco Contiero said:* _“When we got farmers’ unions, environmental experts, scientists, traders and food companies around the same table, everyone was clear – Europe’s food and farming system must change – but the EU Commission’s ‘vision’ can’t seem to see that. EU farm policy pays massive amounts of public money to a model of farming that eats away at nature, rewards billionaire land-owners, puts small farms out of business and hollows out rural communities. If nothing changes, European farming’s vulnerability to climate and environmental breakdown will grow, further risking farmers’ livelihoods and their very ability to grow food. This is the Commission’s tunnel vision on farming, unwilling to change course even as our food system crumbles.”_ 🔊*Find an audio recording of the quote by following the link above.*
