Civil society is taking the CAP by storm: What happened, what’s next and how to get involved?
The Good Food Good Farming campaign mobilised ahead of the European elections, organising a stunt under the motto We can’t eat promises! in Brussels on Saturday 1 June. Our staff took part in a demonstration calling for climate action and a fair transition of our agri-food systems. Along with NGOs and grassroots movements, all participants gathered at Place de l’Albertine in Brussels, urging politicians to improve farmers’ conditions, halt environmental rollbacks, and strengthen climate policies.
Action days calling for a just food system transition in October
The Campaign is continuing its actions focusing its Action Days 2024 on the Common Agricultural Policy. Any European event demanding a just transition can register on goodfoodgoodfarming.eu/action-days. There are no strict rules for the event, everything that is related to good food and farming works: a harvest festival, seed fair, film screening, farm-visit, picnic, protest or public discussion – everything is welcome!
