EU Commission’s announcement on fertiliser takes agriculture in ‘completely the wrong direction’
Reacting to the European Commission's announcement on ensuring availability and affordability of fertiliser, Teresa Anderson, ActionAid's Global lead on Climate Justice, said:
“This amounts to a massive subsidy and marketing push for fossil fuelled-fertilisers, and more money in the pockets of the big corporations at the expense of the climate. It takes agriculture in completely the wrong direction, when all the evidence shows that we need to shift to farming practices that work with nature instead of against it.”
