Our most ambitious EU legislation to date to fight 🌍 deforestation sets a global benchmark.
It inspires & gives fresh impetus to similar US plans.
Hoping it will catalyse action & mobilise more governments worldwide.

Global pollinator losses are a direct threat to our health.
500,000 people each year lose their lives early as reduced yields of healthy foods lead to diseases.
Europe is changing its agricultural approach but we need a worldwide shift to reverse this.
