welcome

Food and Farming in Europe has to change: current food and farming policies do not deliver healthy food. Our soils, air and water are polluted by intensive agriculture.The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union should support farmers and subsidise quality food production.

The 45 billion Euro that the EU spends each year on the CAP, has resulted in overintensification of farming and environmental pollution. 80% of CAP subsidies go to only 20% of the farmers. Big farmers and agroindustry profit most.
