Think #FutureofCAP should support intensive farming for #foodsecurity ? Think again. This model is killing the ecosystems we need to produce food. And every year, 88 million tons of food go to waste! 🙀

😏 Work for the #FutureOfCAP , they said.
😉 Ask for #Space4Nature , they said.
🥳 It will be fun, they said.

So no need to worry about water pollution, biodiversity loss, climate disruption, ammonia emissions, insect collapse.. farming exists in its own bubble, entirely independent of natural systems, isn't that right EU Agriculture🌱? #space4nature #GreenDeal
Ursula von der Leyen Frans Timmermans Janusz Wojciechowski you know the science on biodiversity loss and climate, do not be the Commission that just tinkers around the edges leaving people and planet suffer the consequences of more bad agri policies.
Why we need #space4nature on farms.
During this #biodiversitycrisis and #climateemergency we’re also quite sure that building housing estates or huge warehouses on our farmland and golf courses will not help either.
Why can’t the people in power utilise common sense?
Listen to Donal, Irish dairy farmer who wants you MEPs Renew Europe EPP S&D Group to play ur part to help him & all farmers save nature on farmland.10% #spacefornature 15bn #moneyfornature #transitionfornature in #FutureofCAP Charlie McConalogue Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Julia Klöckner
Bees innit. Was a grass verge so I smashed that outdated monoculture and created.this little bee and butterfly pad outside my home #nomow4ever #space4nature #myhomeisnatureshome Butterfly Conservation
Janusz Wojciechowski European Parliament EU Council Do you seriously think you can achieve the #EUGreenDeal standards in these negotiations? A 10% conditionality for (really) non-productive #Space4Nature ? Proper protection of grassland and peatlands? Integreation of #Farm2Fork targets? #WithdrawThisCAP
1st day of the month and 1st #butterfly of the year for me 🎉 Doing some work to support pollinators at Quarry Hangers in #Surrey as part of the #Space4Nature project and a beautiful Brimstone stopped by 💛 Buglife Surrey Wildlife Trust BC Surrey Butterfly Conservation
Our paper is now out in Conservation Letters:

Saw two very different approaches to house fronts from neighbours today, one has left space at the end for cars and the rest is lawn, tree, flowers etc, the other has paved over the whole space and created a loading bay. I know which I prefer #Space4nature
Shit Planning Little Green Space 🐝
⚠️Tomorrow 🇪🇺 negotiators will discuss the environmental aspects of #FutureOfCAP
This public💶must be conditional on strong rules to protect soils, biodiversity & climate, incl:
✅multiannual crop rotation without loopholes
✅Real #Space4Nature

Real food security comes from regenerative, nature-friendly farming! 👩🏽🌾🥦🥕🥬🐇🐝🐌
The intensive agriculture complex does NOT keep us safe. It’s the opposite: it’s destroying the natural world on which we, biological beings, all depend.

'Lack of #biodiversity in European #agriculture is the direct result of #CAP incentives for standardized, genetically homogenous production' said Marta Messa & Christian Huyghe @ #EUGreenWeek
European Parliament: We need #Space4Nature - not #FakeGreen & empty promises #FutureofCAP ⌛️🌍
EU Common Agricultural Policy #CAP must be aligned with #EUGreenDeal to transform our food & farming systems #Farm2Fork #Biodiversity . A #FutureCAP based on results, higher environmental & climate ambitions requires #Space4Nature #Money4Nature & Youth4Nature wwf.eu/what_we_do/agr…

Well said Donal FarmingWithNature-BRIDE Project 10% #Space4Nature is the least we can do but so critical if the #FutureofCAP is to mean a future for nature
An amazing team and incredible project to boost Surrey's biodiversity. Now it's time for the dream to become a reality! #Space4Nature #TheFutureSaysSurrey University of Surrey Buglife Surrey Wildlife Trust Painshill
We can't achieve the #EUGreenDeal targets to ↘️pesticides use by 50% & ⤴️biodiversity by 2030 without crop rotation & real #space4nature being a condition for #FutureOfCAP 💶
Many farmers already apply these basic practices, but some don't. No more loopholes for the laggards❌

We can't produce food on a dead planet. This is appalling.
Intensive agriculture is destroying nature! 2500+ scientists say reform
the CAP. The EU must take action:

Im disgusted that Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine 🇮🇪 are looking to slash #Space4Nature on farms to 4% within the next CAP
The EU Biodiversity Strategy calls for 'at least 10%' & currently even intensive farms retain almost 10% of their holding as wildlife habitat Pippa Hackett Charlie McConalogue
Our associate member Nayden Chakarov has initiated and coordinated an important open letter to the European Parliament on habitat loss through intense agriculture. See below 👇👇👇 #FutureofCAP #ClimateCrisis #Space4Nature
