We believe it is time to build a broad coalition of groups at the European level to challenge the current Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) and the EU institutions and our governments’ avowed plans for a renewed CAP after 2013. Their vision is to keep the global ‘competitiveness’ of Europe’s food industry as the chief objective of Europe’s CAP. The political process for the new CAP post 2013 was launched in 2010. We believe a strong message is needed, not only for EU policy makers, but for policy makers in our countries – a vision for a CAP suitable for the 21st century.

Sign this petition to support our efforts to build a broad movement for change towards food sovereignty policies and practices in Europe.

I just looked at the counter and realized we hit twenty-five hundred signatures which is honestly a bit overwhelming because I was worried this might just disappear into the digital void (I really need to get more coffee before I start rambling again). It feels incredible to know so many people out there care about how we actually grow our food because honestly the old policies are just not working for anyone anymore.

I am looking at the dashboard and we are just hovering under that first big thousand mark which honestly feels surreal because it started as just a few emails between friends. If you have someone in your contacts who might actually care about where their food comes from please just send them the link right now so we can finally nudge this thing over the edge.

It is crazy how the food industry gets all the power while the farmers struggle to make ends meet. Change is long overdue.
