Compassion in World Farming EU’s Post

Last week, the organisations making up the #StrategicDialogue for the Future of EU Agriculture called on the European Commission to propose an EU-wide Plant-Based Action Plan by 2026. But what would that mean? 🇩🇰 Denmark, the first country to create a national plant-based food plan, offers a great example. We call on an EU Action Plan that: ✅Sets targets for a ratio of plant vs. animal protein consumption ✅Ensures fair public subsidies for plant-based products ✅Promotes dietary shifts ✅Creates a Just Transition Mechanism Significant investment in training, promotion, and R&D for plant-based foods will be key to making such an Action Plan successful.💡

To meet the continental ambitions on food systems transformation and trade, it is essential that, in addition to increased productivity in farming, regional food processing capacities and overall value chain competitiveness get strengthened. In particular, emphasis should be placed on the numerous income-generating opportunities for youth post-production, especially for food products that are of high value and contribute to improved nutrition, The Malabo Montpellier Panel YOUTH AHEAD report finds!

🎉 Such a great piece of news to finish up the week. ❤️ Very proud of the team and their #achievement on the important research to support and improve #poultry #feeddevelopment and #meatchicken production. #science #researchanddevelopment #technicaladvancement #collaboration #researchandtechnology #sustainability #growingpopulation #food

In our fourth report on the WPSA UK conference papers, we’re focusing on a field study conducted by Elizabeth Ball of the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute. Elizabeth reported on a field study covering the relationship between poultry litter/manure dry matter and water-soluble phosphorus (WSP). Emissions and pollutants have become a key focus, and Elizabeth explained that phosphorus (P) is a major pollutant, and WSP is one of the main polluting agents. The study set out to measure the dry matter of litter to verify as a predictor of WSP content. Twelve production systems were assessed, with 100 samples collected per production system. Results indicated a wide range of WSP, total phosphorus and WSP:P ratios throughout the systems. It was shown that there was a negative relationship between WSP and dry matter. More research is required to identify other factors that could affect WSP content, such as the Ca:P ratio in diets, as well as the use of enzymes such as phytase. #PremierNutrition is ahead of this curve and already working with customers to reduce phosphorus content in some feed formulations to reduce the environmental impact of poultry production and drive performance.

This #NationalNutritionMonth focuses on farm-to-fork aspects of nutrition. See how collaborative agricultural research projects are improving food production, access, and safety that support good nutrition: buff.ly/3zjaxg4 These projects are supported in part by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture

For the #EU Vision for Agriculture & Food, our partner associations recommend: ➡ Accord greater recognition for input sectors ➡ Ensure a nutrition-centric focus for dietary recommendations ➡ Support socio-economic analysis as fundamental for policymaking AND ⤵ https://lnkd.in/eiQm-tA7

Takeaways from our report on food, agriculture, and nutrition in South Asia: 1. Policies developed in isolation from other areas can have unintended consequences 2. Robust policies require knowledge, credible and timely data, and strong institutions 3. The currect challenges facing food systems are too complex to be tackled by any one entity alone Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/e9KzPuQy
