So, Mr. @christophehansen.bsky.social, MEP Norbert #Lins (Herbert Dorfmann) & co, why aren't you listening to the @fao.org (not a NGO) and shift money away from directpayments to the sustainable transition, start having a real farm stewardship and asides push for #LessMeat and #pesticides reduction?
Another day, another damning report.
@fao.org state of food security argues that EU CAP subsidies have been making healthy food choices harder. Healthy food prices been growing faster than unhealthy food due to skewed subsidies.

🚜 The big EU farm lobby / industry is shameless: COPA & fooddrink aksing not only for reducing administrative burden, but also to substantially weaken standards. But hey, after their riotting and simplification packages they get taxpayers money as directpayments basically without any conditionality!

Now in Brussels with @nabu.de colleagues to discuss the future of #agriculture. It's clear that the EU must spend taxpayers money more efficient, fair & sustainable, hence kill CAP's directpayments. To better support farmers in today's needs. Which are sustainable food production & land stewardship!

Dear @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, we need to #ScrapTheCAP (or at least its #directpayments), it's economically inefficient, socially unfair and environmentally unsustainable (and beyond, big pot of money = source for big fraud)! #EUGreenDeal #RestoreNature #Money4Nature

And still, the #EUbudget is not fit for Future, missing minimum spending dedicated to #RestoreNature, in agri not following the advice of the Strohschneider Dialogue to end #directpayments, and instead the #MFF killing the #LIFE programme!
It's only November, but gift-giving season has arrived in the EU and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has handed out budget concessions.
Yet lawmakers are already signaling they'll be back to ask for more.

Ursula von der Leyen’s dangerous budget balancing act
Commission’s concessions avoided a blowup between the EU’s co-legislators — but the bolstered Parliament is already drawing up further demands.
