🌱🥩 Recent study found that alt proteins could help the EU become self-sufficient. The Green Alliance report commissioned by the Good Food Institute Europe highlights the potential of alternative proteins to reduce Europe's reliance on imported foods and achieve self-sufficiency, with supportive policies playing a crucial role. Three scenarios are outlined, with the most optimistic projecting that these proteins could replace two-thirds of animal proteins by 2050. However, achieving this would require substantial policy changes, including shifting subsidies away from conventional meat and dairy production and investing in the novel protein sector. Farmers could also benefit from transitioning away from livestock farming to nature restoration, which could double their income while meeting environmental targets.

Earlier this week, IPIFF's Deputy Secretary-General, Steven Barbosa, attended the EPP Congress of European Young Farmers, bringing together around 500 participants, with many young farmers from all over Europe, while the high-level event also attracted various Members of the European Parliament as speakers. The Congress addressed key challenges, such as water management and innovation, to ensure a resilient and sustainable EU agriculture. Moreover, attendees shared that generational renewal in agriculture is indeed a major challenge, considering that the number of farmers has decreased by around 30%, complemented by the fact that 31% of European farmers are above 65 years old. We truly believe that the EU insect sector can have a determinant role in increasing the generational renewal in agriculture. EU insect farming activities create economic opportunities by bridging existing agri-food chains and developing new segments, encompassing various applications—including human nutrition, animal feed, and soil fertiliser. Through these initiatives, we contribute to the creation of green jobs in rural areas, fostering a diverse skill set and a range of professional qualifications.

A new vision for food and farming in Europe 🥝 🌱   Last week, President von der Leyen received the final report of the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture. Peter Strohschneider’s report leaves us reason to be optimistic: the members of the dialogue have released this report with the goal of working together for a sustainable, resilient and competitive future 🌍   As President von der Leyen put it: “With this report, we have a very solid foundation for the development of a new vision for food and farming in Europe.” 🙌   We are especially happy to see the importance of the bioeconomy highlighted. Because as they rightly mention, it truly is a Swiss army knife of solutions to our challenges: it can combat climate change, promote economic development, restore our biodiversity and nature secure our geopolitical resilience 🌱 🖇   Examples of biosolutions needed are scattered throughout the report, including biocontrols such as Integrated Pest Management and New Genomic Techniques. This is vital. 🔬   By integrating these into our food production, we can create sustainable, resilient and competitive agricultural- and food sectors.   In the Coalition we are happy to see these recommendations and hopeful that the lasting change we require will happen. We will follow closely to ensure that biosolutions are part of the future vision as well as action for food and farming in Europe – to the benefit of us all 💪
