“FTAs have pushed farmers towards export-oriented production, with prices that do not cover production costs and policies that favour large-scale industrial actors. The #EUMercosur agreement must be brought to an end definitively" viacampesina.org/en/brussels-mo…

"The EU must re-establish intervention prices and minimum prices for all products. The directive on Unfair Trading Practices must be implemented [...] ensure equitable distribution of CAP aid to facilitate a fair transition towards agroecology. " viacampesina.org/en/brussels-mo…

🚜A Bruxelles, les paysan·nes européen·nes ont bloqué le quartier de l'Europe jeudi dernier. Un #RevenuPaysan plus juste favorise la transition agroécologique. Stop aux accords de libre-échange! La coopération, pas la concurrence, pour produire des aliments sains! #StopUEMercosur

The agribusinesses involved in the industrial food system take control over huge areas of farmland by forcing peasants off their land. This system uses most of the world's agricultural land to grow high-input commodity crops and raise livestock in crowded and cruel conditions.

🚜#StopEUMercosur #STOPFTA #FoodSovereignty As protests against the EU-Mercosur trade agreements grow louder, we are republishing the La Via Campesina statement based on a proposal from CLOC Vía Campesina and European Coordination Via Campesina viacampesina.org/en/eu-mercosur… Defending Peasants Rights #FreeTradeFuelsHunger

International Day of Peasant's Struggles! ✊🌾Today we denounce the systematic theft of land under settler-colonialism, as well as in the name of growth/development. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians and all victims of colonial violence. #FoodSovereigntyNow #FreePalestine

#17April ✊🌱 As we head towards the EU elections, now is a crucial time to make demands for #FoodSovereigntyNow. Instead of rolling back environmental protections, the EU should facilitate #Accesstoland for young and small farmers, support #PeasantsRights, and #StopEUMercosur!

NO NATURE 🌱 NO FARMERS 👩‍🌾. If the European Parliament removes the few nature provisions from an already toxic #CAP, they threaten the very basis of farming: healthy soil, air and water. Don’t scrap the environmental meaning of the CAP!
