Today’s dialogue on the UTP Directive was clear: progress has been made, but challenges remain.

Uneven implementation and new unfair practices must be addressed.

Farmers deserve fair treatment throughout the supply chain and fair pay for fair work.

Food policy only works when the entire food system is part of the conversation

Yesterday I chaired the 1st Food Dialogue with my colleague Commissioner Séjourné:
🔹13 million people in the EU work in farming & food processing
🔹9% of EU exports

Proud to see my 1st mandate proposal to protect farmers & small suppliers from unfair trading practices adopted @consilium.europa.eu

Now we must match ambition with action: only strong, consistent enforcement across borders can create fair food supply chains for those who feed Europe 🇪🇺

Four years ago Russia’s full-scale invasion shattered peace in Europe

By targeting Ukraine’s farms, fields & infrastructure, it also disrupted global food supply ➡️ a reminder that Ukraine’s fate matters for our security & global food security. We stand for a just & lasting peace.

Hoy en Andalucía he visto los daños causados por las recientes tormentas y he escuchado el dolor de los 🧑‍🌾 y las familias que lo han perdido todo.

No están solos: la UE garantizará los pagos de la PAC y evaluará la activación de la reserva de crisis. Juntos saldremos adelante.

A year ago, we promised a new direction for Europe’s farmers and food producers.

One year later, that Vision has turned into action. #VisionforAgricultureandFood

I hosted a roundtable with @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu to assess the combined impact of major environmental legislation on farmers & forest-holders.

We want clear examples of what works—and what doesn’t—to streamline rules, foster innovation, new business models & generational renewal 🌱

I welcome the communication on 🇪🇺 Eastern borders

From Finland and the Baltics, to Romania and Bulgaria in the south, farmers are vital to our security & resilience.

Backed by #CAP & cohesion funds, we must keep agriculture strong for food security, jobs & generational renewal.

In Portugal today, on the ground with farmers & agri-food producers hit by the devastating storms.

When one country of our Union suffers, we all suffer. We grieve, then rebuild together.

The Commission stands by you and will mobilise further support to rebuild what was lost 🇪🇺🤝🇵🇹

If we discuss security without food, we cover only half the battlefield.

Farmers stand on the front line against hybrid threats, especially at our Eastern borders.

In a world where dependencies can turn into vulnerabilities, resilience & food security must be our collective response.

At @munsecconf.bsky.social we confronted the reality: food is used as a battlefield instrument

Targeted attacks, market manipulation & supply disruptions have reshaped global food systems

Food has become a tool in geopolitical power plays ➡️ We see it with Russia’s use of grain as its “second oil”

New measures to reduce farmers' dependency on imported fertilisers The new rules take the form of an amendment to the Nitrates Directive.

Good news for farmers and the environment 🌱 RENURE is now a reality: turning processed manure into a safe fertiliser alternative ♻️

That means less reliance on imports, more circularity, and real savings on farm inputs.
