The residents' collective “Autour de Marguerite” is organising a fundraiser to install bat shelters in public spaces and at private homes. Despite their sometimes negative reputation, bats are harmless and play a vital ecological role by consuming large numbers of insects such as mosquitoes.

We would be even more excited if the Conference would also focus on *food* and the demand side, not just the agri-food sector - reflecting a true #FoodSystems approach ... 🤗

...and if it were possible to follow #EUAgriVision on #Bluesky and not just X (but for this, you can count on us! 😉)
