»Ähnlich wie die Gas- und Ölbranche setzt auch #BigMeat darauf, die eigenen Emissionen durch den Ankauf von CO₂-Zertifikaten zu senken, statt die Produktionsweise zu ändern. Gleichzeitig geben die Unternehmen an, ihre Produktion weiter steigern zu wollen.
"Die Grundidee der Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung, wie sie in den 90er und 2000er Jahren aufkam, war eigentlich, daß man sich auch mit den Schwächen der Unternehmen auseinandersetzt"« 🤨

In meeting no.1 of 2026, at the last minute, the Commission flooded expert group with Big Meat & Dairy interests, mislabelled as “experts”.
This underhand move badly erodes trust.
Civil society engaged in good faith. Democracy, science & the public interest must come first❗

Shame on you, @EUCommission !
The list is dominated by Big Meat and Dairy industry interests. This choice blatantly tilts the discussion in favour of Big Business and dominates the space that was meant for trust-based, balanced exchange.
This move runs directly counter to the EBAF’s stated strategic purpose. The Board was established following the Strategic Dialogue on Agriculture and Food launched by Commission President von der Leyen in 2024, which promised to “depolarise the agrifood debate” and build a new culture of trust and inclusive dialogue. Instead, last-minute and opaque decisions that further amplify already powerful industry voices seriously undermine trust in this Commission and lend weight to concerns that EU agrifood policy is increasingly being shaped by corporate interests.
[…]
The stakes could not be higher. Europe is facing intersecting crises, biodiversity collapse, climate breakdown, public health risks, deteriorating animal welfare standards and growing pressure on farmers’ incomes and agricultural resilience. Citizens across Europe have been promised evidence-based policymaking that delivers solutions, not talk-shops, not excuses, and not the quiet capture of EU policymaking by unaccountable corporations.
The undersigned organisations remain committed to a constructive and balanced EBAF process. But this will only be possible if the Commission restores transparency, balance, and trust. Over-representing industrial food and farming interests in a forum where they are already represented fundamentally undermines evidence-based debate and calls into question the Commission’s intentions at a critical moment.

Great article on the state of organic certifiers (tl;dr .. they aren't all equal).
BTW .. OrganicEye is a wonderful organization. From their website .."We monitor the increasingly corrupt relationship between corporate agribusiness and government regulators that has eroded the working definition of organics."

Given all the stories we know about Big Oil, Big Tobacco, and even the food industry (check this Financial Times article: https://archive.ph/od3sw), I always worry that such research is funded and carried out with the interests of #BigMeat in mind. I wish I could be less suspicious.
-
I always feel uncomfortable going so negative about anything, especially in public, but it is so disheartening to read articles, one after another, about these maffia-style tactics of #BigMeat and how many people who should know better just fold in.
Here is one such example:
-
#BigMeat #AgroIndustry #Environment #Greenwashing #Disinformation #Propaganda: "None of this is terribly surprising — it’s largely the same denial and deflection playbook run by Big Oil to avoid responsibility for climate change, with the usual suspects helping: industry-aligned academics, front groups, loyal politicians, and social media influencers.
But among those allies are groups that are surprising: some of the world’s largest environmental organizations.
Take the World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, a green giant with over $600 million in assets. WWF and McDonald’s are both founding members of the beef roundtable, and later, the two worked together on other beef-related projects. In fact, that inaugural conference in 2010 was officially titled the World Wildlife Fund Global Conference on Sustainable Beef. (WWF has helped to found similar industry roundtables for poultry and soy — most of which is fed to farmed animals — and a certification program for seafood.)
For its collaboration, McDonald’s makes sure WWF is well compensated; from 2015 to 2022, the company donated $4.5 to $9 million to WWF-US.
From 2017 to 2022, WWF-US brought in approximately $12 million to $28.6 million from various meat, dairy, seafood, fast food, restaurant, and grocery companies, including Tyson Foods, Cargill, Burger King, Costco, Walmart, Red Lobster, Chobani, and Dairy Management Inc., a dairy trade group. (WWF only discloses donation ranges, not specific dollar amounts, and many of its corporate donations are multifaceted, used to address meat and other parts of a company’s supply chain, like plastics, palm oil, and food waste.)"

IMHO, it's best to be respectful of any living being you eat -- whether plant or animal or insect. Life feeds on life, but #BigAg, #Monoculture and #BigMeat take us away from our food sources.
The Hidden Memories of Plants
Inside a quiet revolution in the study of the world’s other great kingdom.
by Sarah Laskow
"In the study of the plant kingdom, a slow revolution is underway. Scientists are beginning to understand that plants have abilities, previously unnoticed and unimagined, that we’ve only ever associated with animals. In their own ways, plants can see, smell, feel, hear, and know where they are in the world."
