The EU's new farming strategy aims to reduce regulations and improve financing for farmers, focusing on younger agricultural workers and addressing unfair trading practices. While promising better pay and conditions, critics argue the reforms do not sufficiently protect environmental interests, with fears that proposed environmental regulations may be weakened in the future. Leading environmental groups emphasize that the strategy lacks robust commitments to sustainability, calling it a vague roadmap that only makes tentative progress toward a more equitable food supply system.
European farmers will face fewer rules and less foreign competition, with a new EU farming strategy that emphasizes financial support and stricter import standards.
The strategy includes provisions for improved pay and conditions for farmers, targeting support to assist young farmers, while addressing unfair trading practices.
Campaigners argue the proposed reforms to the common agricultural policy fall short, fearing environmental protections will be weakened under the guise of simplification.
Environmental advocates describe the new vision as a vague roadmap that makes only small progress towards creating a fair and sustainable food supply chain.
