Drought is no longer an exceptional risk for farmers. This summer showed what's at stake: farmers’ livelihoods & Europe’s food production. At today’s #AgriCouncil, I stressed the need to invest more in resilience: water management, risk tools, and a #CAP that helps farmers adapt #Drought #Farmers #Resilience #EU
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
