Redirecting subsidies from foodstuffs produced from high-emission rearing, such as beef cattle, towards those with fewer emissions can help the developed world including Europe to achieve net zero emissions, the World Bank said in its first strategic framework on food production impact on climate change. “High-income countries should decrease consumer demand for emissions-intensive, animal-source foods by fully pricing environmental and health externalities, repurposing subsidies, and promoting sustainable food options,” the report, released on Tuesday (7 May), reads. The Washington-based fina...

SINGAPORE, May 2, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) - The Asia Video Industry Association’s Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) has published its 2024 annual piracy consumer survey, conducted by YouGov. Despite a decrease in piracy on pirate TV boxes, pirate apps and streaming or torrent websites, the survey shows an increase in the incidence of piracy across the region, climbing from 52% last year to 59% this year due to more piracy on social media and messaging platforms. Particularly concerning are the increases in the Philippines (12% yoy) and Vietnam (13% yoy), with both countries also now having the regi...

It took only 40 days for the European Parliament to give its final nod to a legal package simplifying farm subsidies – a record for reforming a such major policy area. The plan was presented to EU lawmakers in mid-March by the European Commission, in a bid to cut red tape and reduce certain green conditions in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Officials hoped that would appease farmers who have protested across Europe since the end of last year, complaining about red tape and poor incomes. A majority of the parliament backed the package in a vote in Strasbourg on Wednesday (24 April), duri...

On several mornings this spring, Brussels' European Quarter woke up to the sound of giant tractors honking loudly, with tonnes of soil and manure dumped around street corners, and bonfires blocking important crossroads. It wasn't exactly the cosy atmosphere that European bureaucrats are used to. This spectacular roadshow was set up by farmers representing small and big farms across Europe to highlight their everyday struggles to make a decent living from their almost 24/7 work shifts to produce our food. Unfortunately, in no time, their legitimate demands for fair incomes got heavily instrumen...

Three political groups threaten to derail an attempt to fast-track a modification of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) designed to mollify protesting farmers during the last voting plenary of the current legislative term on 25 April. The CAP simplification package proposed by the Commission in late February aims to cut red tape for farmers, by reducing green conditions required to receive CAP funding and providing exemptions from checks for farms under 10 hectares – which will affect 65% of CAP beneficiaries. This week (15 April) the European Parliament’s agriculture committee (AGRI) opted ...

Tens of thousands of farmers protested a major agriculture business conference in Italy this week, rallying against what they argue is alleged inauthentic product labelling by the EU. Italy's largest farming organisation, Coldiretti Farmers, which represents over 70,000 workers, spearheaded the #NoFakeInItaly action on Monday. Coldiretti national president Ettore Prandini said is it "crucial" to raise awareness within the European institutions of the situation in Italy, in light of the European elections this June, about "all the issues of fundamental importance to the agricultural world such ...

The concessions made to farmers haven't helped to calm the anger of the demonstrators who gathered again in Brussels on Tuesday, just a few metres from where the EU agriculture ministers were meeting. Unlike the February rallies, where several hundred tractors were gathered, only a few turned up this time around. The reasons for their protests remain largely the same. Brussels has taken note of the farmers' demands, including several meetings with European politicians, such as the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and several agricultural ministers. "We have listened ...

Spanish farmers have begun disrupting traffic on the main AP-7 motorway connecting Spain and France as part of a series of continent-wide protests. For the past two days, farmers have parked on the road to show their anger at what they perceive as unfair competition stemming from non-EU imports, particularly from Ukraine, and various EU agricultural policies. Their action coincides with numerous protests across Spain, with hundreds of tractors converging in Madrid last Wednesday for the largest demonstration yet.
