📣EU-Mercosur and FTAs must be brought to an end!!
EU policy must stop pushing farmers towards export-oriented production and instead ensure an agroecological transition based on food sovereignty.
Today we mobilise in Place du Luxembourg!

- Why are #newGMOs incompatible with #PeasantRights to seeds and why should you sign the petition to keep them strictly regulated? Read the thread to find out! 🌱🚫 🖋️eurovia.org/european-petit…
- Farmers don't need patented new #GMOs to ensure food security & develop locally-adapted peasant varieties. What they need is the full implementation of their right on seeds. The deregulation of "new genomic techniques" would only profit to patent-holding companies, not farmers.Humans have been improving grains, fruits, vegetables ever since we started growing them. New genomic techniques allow us to do the same, faster & with more precision. Today, we are presenting new framework protecting human & animal health & the environment. #EUGreenDeal #NGT
