Deep Dives: EU Farming and the End of Food Sovereignty
Description
In this episode of Deep Dives John O'Brian talks to Thomas Fazi about his MCC Brussels report 'Reclaiming Food Sovereignty: An alternative approach to trade and agriculture'.
The report explains how EU policies have systematically hindered food production in Europe and argues for a renewed focus on food security.
Massive farmers' protests have swept across European countries, largely opposing the European Union’s climate and environmental regulations as manifest in the Green Deal. These policies threaten small and mid-sized farms without providing significant climate benefits. The public needs to understand the broader context: small and mid-sized farmers have long struggled with rising costs, over-regulation, unfair competition, and corporate practices. Farms are disappearing rapidly across the EU.
