Europe lost 5 million farms in 15 years. EU subsidies flow to agribusiness while small farmers disappear. I just signed to demand a farming system that works for people + planet. Join me! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-04...
Farming That Feeds People, Not Profits
Small farmers are disappearing while corporate giants cash in. It’s time to fix EU farm policy for people, not profit. Join the call for fair prices, healthy food, and climate action!
