The CAP is a true common policy, a policy of solidarity, and an anchor of European food security.
This policy will continue to be a cornerstone of EU funding 👇

Sustainable agriculture is about more than food. At the @EESC plenary, we discussed how organic and social farms create jobs, support inclusion and open opportunities in rural communities
👉 Next CAP must reflect this, with a dedicated rural target and backed by adequate funding

2026 has tested European agriculture. Today, on #EUOrganicDay, the winners of the EU Organic Awards 🌱show that sustainability and economic viability can go 🤝
Our job now is to build the conditions for that to grow 🔀 through #CAP, stronger markets but also public procurement

Europeans care about quality and origin when they buy food.
Building on this, we will launch a new #EuropeanFood campaign, as announced by President @vonderleyen recognising the stars behind our European food & drinks 🇪🇺
Europeans agree: securing a stable food supply for the EU is crucial
The vast majority also believes that the Common Agricultural Policy benefits all Europeans, pointing to its achievements in securing a stable supply of food for the EU, ensuring reasonable food prices for consumers, and sustainable management of natural resources.

Merci @benjaminhaddad pour cet échange intéressant, quelques mois après notre première rencontre, pour faire le point sur les avancées des discussions budgétaires et la place de la Politique Agricole Commune.
Nous partageons la même ambition pour nos agriculteurs.

Europeans are telling us loud and clear: agriculture is strategic for Europe.
They know the CAP delivers for farmers, food security, consumers & rural areas. And almost 8/10 say EU origin matters when buying food.
We need policies that reflect that

European farmers need opportunities to grow and reliable partners to trade with.
🇪🇺🇵🇭The EU-Philippines agreement delivers on both: better access for key exports like pigmeat, and protection for almost 200 EU Geographical Indications.
Good news for European farmers! #Winwin

Good discussions today with @EuroCommerce, farmers, suppliers &retailers. If we want a food chain that works for everyone, we need trust, transparency & dialogue.
That matters as work on #UTPDirective revision continues. Good to see REWE strengthening cooperation local farmers👨🌾

A #YouthPolicyDialogue is only useful if we listen, and act. It's about making sure there is a next generation ready to farm, with access to land, finance &more. That is the commitment I made.
🇮🇪 where almost 9/10 farms are livestock farms, has a lot to contribute to this debate

I grew up on a farm, back when smartphones didn't exist.
Addictive content and formats are harmful to our children’s development. We can no longer pretend we didn’t know this.
The Commission acts today with the #EUKidsAct : no social media below the age of 13.

Les règles du jeu ont changé. L’Europe doit s’adapter, mais surtout agir : maîtriser ses dépendances, renforcer sa compétitivité et rester maîtresse de son destin.
Réformer, oui. Non par complaisance mais par conviction. Avec responsabilité et lucidité.

Canada is a close friend & strategic partner for Europe. Reinforcing this alliance makes us both stronger in an unpredictable world.
On agri-food: we are net exporters:
👉 More opportunities for our farmers & producers
👉More Canadians enjoying the excellence of EU products 🤝

Message from #SOTEU is clear: Europe must get serious about water. For agriculture & our food security, this is urgent
New European Water initiative must deliver for farmers: efficient irrigation, modern infrastructure, AI technologies that help use this precious resource wisely
I could not agree more: Europe’s farmers are the best in the world.
They endure difficult conditions to feed us. We acknowledge their hard work with gratitude.
I've met many of them all across the EU with 1 message: we stand by you.
A strong Europe needs strong farmers. #SOTEU

This summer tested Europe’s farmers like never before. They endured heat, drought, lower yields and losses — and kept Europe fed.
The European Heatwave Plan must build on their experience: better warnings, preparedness, cooling and adaptation.
