Farm to Fork: European Parliament backs green transition against massive industry pressure
In a plenary vote yesterday, MEPs defended and reinforced the EU’s roadmap for a sustainable transformation of our food systems.
By backing the own-initiative report crafted by the Parliament’s Environment and Agriculture Committees with broad support from the main political groups, MEPs voted down amendments – with the exception of one new recital [1] – that had been introduced in an intense last-minute effort by the farming lobby to water down the Parliament’s position. Instead, the report fully endorses the strategy and calls for its swift implementation.
“With its relentless efforts to sway this plenary vote, the agri-industry used the tried and tested tactics of scaremongering to delay action by focusing on partial and biased ‘evidence’. However, the science is solid and unquestionable: the way we produce and consume food is putting an impossible strain on the planet, and the cost of inaction could be gigantic,” said Jabier Ruiz, Senior Policy Officer on Agriculture and Food at WWF European Policy Office. “With their vote, MEPs showed that they are not ready to cave in. Instead, they have endorsed and reinforced the Farm to Fork Strategy. Making our food systems sustainable is now a consolidated political priority for the EU.”
