A successful transition is one that is fair. We need industry to decarbonise without passing the bill to those who can afford it least. Our ETS should reward decarbonisation, strengthen 🇪🇺's own fertiliser production & keep fertilisers affordable for farmers. #Decarbonisation #FairTransition #Fertilisers #EU
Harvests need farmers. Farmers need fertilisers. I propose €540 million in EU support for farmers hit by ↗️ fertiliser costs — possibly rising to €1.5 billion with national co-financing. Europe will always back those who feed us. 1/2 https://t.co/XSp1l9LoHX #SupportFarmers #FertiliserCosts #EUStrategy #EU
Today,I joined G7 Agriculture Ministers to discuss the impact of geopolitical tensions on fertiliser markets & global food security. We must keep food supply chains functioning,↗️ market transparency & support farmers facing rising input costs. International cooperation is key https://t.co/xFsLE1JPQI #G7 #FoodSecurity #Agriculture #CA #FR #DE #IT #JP #UK #US
Following pressure from @EPPGroup and farming organisations, @EU_Commission has proposed suspending customs duties on key nitrogen-based fertilisers for one year. This is an important first step to strengthen food security and cut dependence on external suppliers. @Europarl_EN https://t.co/Bd6MQcM2gZ #FoodSecurity #NitrogenFertilizers #EUAgriculture #EU

The European Commission adopted yesterday the so-called Fertiliser Action Plan. It aims to support farmers facing rising costs and shortages of fertilizers, strengthen fertilizer production in the European Union, and reduce the EU's dependence on imports. (translated)
Fertilisers are essential to agricultural productivity and food production. Do you know about their role in EU agriculture? (translated)
🌾Food security starts with fertiliser security For farmers, fertilisers can mean the difference between a harvest and no harvest at all Across Europe, rising energy prices are ↗️input costs for farmers. This is not just a farming issue. It’s a food security issue for all of us https://t.co/wUenJtNKOZ #FoodSecurity #Fertiliser #Farmers #EU
Europe's food security depends on fertilisers. With this Action Plan, we are investing in a stronger European fertiliser industry, supporting European farmers and accelerating innovation in sustainable, home-grown solutions. Securing the future of farming in Europe. https://t.co/36S6zEzoRS #FoodSecurity #Fertiliser #SustainableFarming #EU
The European Commission is considering utilizing revenues from the EU's carbon market to subsidize farmers facing rising fertiliser and energy costs due to geopolitical tensions, while balancing the implications for energy-intensive industries, amid growing calls for a transition to sustainable agricultural practices. #CarbonMarket #FoodSecurity #Sustainability #EU #PL #FR #DE #ES #IT #RU #BY #IR
Former World Bank president David Malpass urged China to stop hoarding food and fertiliser to alleviate the global supply crisis exacerbated by the Iran war, asserting that China's status as a developing nation is no longer credible given its position as the world's second-largest economy. #GlobalEconomy #FoodSecurity #ChinaPolicy #CN #IR #US
Former World Bank president David Malpass urged China to stop hoarding food and fertiliser to alleviate a global supply crisis exacerbated by the Iran war, criticizing its claim as a developing nation and emphasizing the need for a united international response to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. #GlobalEconomy #FoodSecurity #ChinaTrade #CN #IR #US
In an opinion piece for Euronews, chemical engineer Magnolia Tovar argues that Europe must innovate its fertiliser production to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, protect jobs in industrial regions, and enhance food system resilience amid rising economic and environmental risks. #SustainableAgriculture #CleanEnergy #FertilizerInnovation #EU #DE #RU #CN #US #DZ #EG #CL #ES
The Iran war and the resulting blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have led to a significant "fertiliser squeeze," driving production costs up and pushing farmers' affordability to a four-year low, which threatens global food security and necessitates urgent intervention from European agriculture ministers to support domestic producers and stabilize supply chains. #FoodSecurity #AgricultureCrisis #FertilizerSqueeze #IR #EU #IN #BD #LK #EG #SD #Sub-SaharanAfrica
The CEO of Yara, Svein Tore Holsether, warned that disruptions to fertiliser supplies due to the war in Iran could lead to the loss of up to 10 billion meals weekly, disproportionately affecting the poorest countries, while urging European nations to consider the consequences of a potential bidding war for food. #FoodSecurity #FertilizerCrisis #GlobalHunger #IR #US #IL #UK
