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.

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.

Europe 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.

There’s a better way. 🌱
By avoiding synthetic inputs, organic & agroecological farms protect soil, water, and wildlife. They build resilience, producing food long-term without destroying the planet.

Industrial agriculture is destroying meadows, killing pollinators, and turning rivers grey (and green!), wrecking nature and undermining the very resources future food production depends on.

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.

Public policy can shift power away from corporations and toward people: regulate junk food marketing, fund free school meals so kids don’t go hungry, and make nutritious food affordable.

Is the CAP supporting both big industrial farms and small farmers alike?
The goal of the CAP is to ensure that it delivers income support to those farmers who need it most, especially those on small and medium-sized farms.
