Dear Ministers,
We are writing to you in relation to the upcoming AGRIFISH Council, in particular regarding the Presidency compromise text, which was recently published with the view to come with the Council position in the coming months. In particular, we would like to highlight the importance of issues surrounding the interconnection between agriculture and the environmental crisis. The stakes of this debate for the survival of future generations and farmers’ livelihoods have never been higher; the latest report of the UN FAO warns that the loss of biodiversity from intensification is a severe threat to future food supply.
