Good news for farmers and the environment 🌱 RENURE is now a reality: turning processed manure into a safe fertiliser alternative ♻️

That means less reliance on imports, more circularity, and real savings on farm inputs.

New measures to reduce farmers' dependency on imported fertilisers
The new rules take the form of an amendment to the Nitrates Directive.

Really valuable & honest discussions today with 🇮🇪 farmers, agricultural representatives, and MPs

These on-the-ground realities must be reflected in the next EU budget.
The future CAP is up to the challenge: delivering opportunity and real support.

Productive & forward-looking talks today with Taoiseach Micheál Martin
in Dublin

We'll keep working closely with 🇮🇪 ahead of the Presidency as we shape the next EU budget ➡️ keeping the CAP a pillar of stability for farmers, allowing them to plan ahead & invest with confidence

Strong start to 🇨🇾 Presidency at #AGRIFISH

Situation in EU agricultural markets call for action!

I have decided to launch a health check of key markets, a process that will look into their challenges but also opportunities. This will be done in dialogue with the stakeholders.

Good debate today on #NRPP
Joint planning makes sense to support farmers & rural areas: better synergies & investments

But let’s be clear #CAP remains distinct with its own role & tools
Because 👨‍🌾 do not farm in budgetary cycles

Next step: finish MFF negotiations on time for national plans

Great to be back at Grüne Woche in Berlin 🇩🇪 for its 100th edition, celebrating a century of tradition and innovation.

It was a pleasure to engage with farmers & explore the best of German and European agriculture 🌾

Glad to be back in Germany 🇩🇪 discussing the road ahead with the @bundestag.de Agri Committee

This year is about delivery: shaping the new CAP, fair and reciprocal trade, and real support for farmers as costs rise, climate hits harder and animal diseases become more frequent.

Farmers spoke. We listened.

Today we brought 🇪🇺 Ministers together to take stock and reflect on the way forward for CAP funding, reciprocity on imports & easing the burden of costs and rules on farmers.

Turning farmers’ concerns into political action for Europe’s food security.

With strong, sustained support in the EU budget.

Targeted help for small and family farms, and young farmers.

And simplification to make the everyday life of farmers easier.

Europe is with you - now and in the future.
