🔬Research & innovation are reshaping the way we farm. AI, precision agriculture & bioeconomy are opening new opportunities for farmers. Biomethane is 1 example: turning farm resources into renewable energy, creating value for farmers & strengthening Europe’s energy independence. #AgTech #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFarming #EU
Message from #SOTEU is clear: Europe must get serious about water. For agriculture & our food security, this is urgent New European Water initiative must deliver for farmers: efficient irrigation, modern infrastructure, AI technologies that help use this precious resource wisely https://t.co/juRB0Jbdui #WaterSecurity #Agriculture #EUInitiative #EU
Drought, heat waves, fires: this summer has been challenging for our farmers. In Moselle, I heard the expectations of @JeunesAgri 🇫🇷, representatives of the sector and agricultural high school students. Europe is here to: support, invest, prepare for the future. (translated)
When schools, hospitals, and other public institutions buy food, price should not be the only measure of value. Now we consider how food is produced, how the food chain is organized, whether farmers are paid fairly, and the impact on animals and the environment. Every euro of public money is a choice. (translated)
How we spend public money matters Public procurement can shape food system we want: fairer for farmers, better for consumers & more sustainable I welcome stronger criteria for food procurement 🤝fair pay & supply chains🥕quality & seasonality🌱organic production🐄animal welfare https://t.co/X3zBU3fGR2 #PublicProcurement #SustainableFood #FairTrade #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Research should not stay in the lab 🔬 From crops that withstand drought & heat, to faster disease detection, more sustainable crop protection & smarter use of water, innovation must work on the ground, in farmers’ fields 📍That’s what our new Strategic Approach to R&I is about #ResearchInField #SustainableAgriculture #InnovationInFarming #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
We know cash is limited.
Today I met farmers & sector representatives to hear how severe heat and drought are affecting their farms and crops. They know they're not alone: we discussed what can be done using every available #CAP tool, working with Member States & building resilience into the next CAP https://t.co/kXEcOzE6SE #Farmers #Drought #CAP #EU #FR #DE #IT #ES #NL
«nuestros agricultores respetan algunas de las normas sanitarias y antimicrobianas más estrictas del mundo. Es legítimo, por tanto, que los productos importados estén sometidos a los mismos requisitos. La decisión adoptada hoy demuestra que el sistema europeo de controles funciona»
The #RRF is entering its final phase. Its impact on farming and rural areas will last. RRF investments have supported: 🚜 farm modernisation, digital tools & the green transition 🏡 rural businesses 🏭 food processing, storage & agricultural infrastructure https://t.co/Ea1ct54ogu #RRF #Farming #RuralDevelopment #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
„Vara aceasta a fost deosebit de dificilă pentru fermierii din întreaga UE. Seceta și căldura extremă exercită o presiune din ce în ce mai mare asupra culturilor, a furajelor, a animalelor și a veniturilor fermierilor. Monitorizăm îndeaproape și în mod activ evoluțiile, obținând direct de pe teren informații privind impactul”
Prepariamoci a un futuro caratterizzato da crisi meteorologiche frequenti
Given the severity, I will also discuss the drought situation at the informal #AGRICouncil 🇮🇪 6-8 Sep & formal Council 28 Sep. Member States’ arable crop experts will take a first stock 27 Aug. We need to closely monitor developments & be ready to protect Europe’s food security. #FoodSecurity #Drought #AGRICouncil #IE #EU
Persistent heat & drought are hitting Europe hard this summer. We are actively monitoring the situation & working w/ Member States to support farmers & protect agricultural potential. 👉 I will discuss this directly with stakeholders to get first-hand information from the ground https://t.co/fY5Jqqt4Xk #ClimateCrisis #Drought #FarmersSupport #EU
Europe has the talent & technology to lead in digital agriculture. Now we need to make sure farmers benefit from it. AI, satellites, drones & precision farming can boost productivity, use resources more efficiently & cut red tape🛰️🚜 Stay tuned👉Digital Strategy for Agriculture https://t.co/2jxic9IzRo #DigitalAgriculture #PrecisionFarming #AgTech #EU
Water is one of farming's most valuable resources. As droughts and floods put growing pressure on European agriculture, through the #CAP, we're helping farmers invest in efficient irrigation and smarter water management 📲 https://t.co/Vh6eX46EBo https://t.co/x6FR8NEhuY #WaterManagement #SustainableFarming #CAP #EU
Farmers need certainty, and today we deliver. 👉 On top of €540 million in 🇪🇺 support, our fertiliser measures are now in force, allowing Member States to provide faster, more flexible support to farmers facing high fertiliser costs 🖇️https://t.co/3tF6scZ6Vj https://t.co/UD1xm0KTpd #FarmersSupport #Fertilisers #EUPolicy #EU
Luxembourg is providing its support in the face of the devastating forest fires in Gironde #EuropeanSolidarity 🇱🇺🇪🇺🇫🇷 (translated)
The CAP allocates 4 billion euros to measures for preventing fires, managing forests, restoring ecosystems, improving infrastructure, and reinforcing resilience. Investing in those who actively manage our lands is investing in our security. (translated)
