Hi,

Every single one of us wants to play their part in protecting our planet. 
But this year, our leaders did not play their part, they chose to take the 
same path that brought us here.

They built the EU’s new farming deal (CAP), on old logic - stripping our 
environment to line the pockets of agriculture giants. [1]

Now we’re left with a deal that threatens the future of our bees, our health 
and the livelihood of thousands of families. Many family farmers are giving 
up.

But there is hope. Across Europe, a farming revolution is taking life. And 
it's spreading quickly. From Italy to Bulgaria and everywhere in between, 
people are rethinking farming to provide food in ways that respect our land 
and help the climate. [2]

But these ideas need the backing of a community like ours. [3] There are 
over a million of us, and when we each play our part it adds up to the kind 
of common action we know the climate needs.

In 2022 we can build a movement, spread knowledge and pressure politicians 
that have to implement the EU plan in each country now. They can still make 
changes that would benefit our climate, farmers and bees despite the bad 
deal our EU leaders gave us.

To make this a reality we need to know if we have the financial stability to 
keep working on it. Can you help chip in just €5 to make this ambitious plan 
a reality? We don’t have the deep pockets of agricultural giants but we do 
have a community of brilliant, committed people around Europe to help.

So what does this way of making food look like? Simply put, this is about 
going back to the way we used to farm before: in harmony with nature. It’s 
called ‘regenerative’ farming. It’s about planting diverse crops, taking 
great care of our soil and water and planting more trees where we farm. This 
is better for the food we plant. It has huge potential to stop climate 
change. It will bring back insects. The list of benefits is long. [4]

The incredible thing is that it’s already being used worldwide, from Sri 
Lanka, to Zambia, to parts of Europe and the US. It’s being used despite 
governments giving little money to incentivise this farming. That is what 
gives us hope. Despite decisions, laws, and money flowing in the wrong way, 
people worldwide are starting farming in harmony with the planet.

So here’s what we could do next year:

  a.. Spread the word about the advantages of this farming revolution to 
hundreds of thousands of Europeans.
  b.. Supporting the efforts happening in different countries and start to 
put pressure on governments from Berlin to Madrid to implement regenerative 
farming
  c.. Build a coalition: We want to bring together farmers, activists, 
scientists and build a strong European coalition to push this new vision of 
farming and counter the powerful agri lobby.
  d.. Work with famous local chefs and food influencers, to spread awareness 
about regenerative farming and the drive the uptake of people using food 
from regenerative agriculture instead of from the climate crippling CAP
  e.. Change farming practices, one farm at a time
But it will need the backing of a strong community like ours if we want to 
counter the powerful agriculture giants who are set on business as usual to 
protect their billions in profits. Will you consider donating to help us 
action this plan?

farmers. It’s a big deal. It distributes 35% of the EU's budget.

that “improves the resources it uses, rather than destroying or depleting 
them”
