Farmers’ voices in European protests

Farmers’ protests swept across Europe in 2024. Researchers analysed surveys from over 2,200 farmers in Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. They found a wide range of concerns that differed markedly between countries. Farmers’ motivations go far beyond commonly cited issues such as environmental regulations: complaints ranged from bureaucracy and low incomes to political dissatisfaction and uncertainty about the future of farming: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8066

The EU Parliament voted to ban terms like “veggie burger” and “plant-based sausage” because consumers are confused. Research shows people understand what they’re buying. The real issue is bureaucracy, not consumer confusion. Climate and food security challenges remain unaddressed.

With concerted efforts in marketing, infrastructure, and support for commercial fishing, invasive carp can become not just a problem but a resource.

In 20 years, they might become a staple to eat as consumers adapt.

🚨 FDA plans big food system reforms: tackling ultraprocessed foods, AI, & financial toxicity.

As an RDN + public sector leader, I see this as a call to engage.

✅ Advocate.
✅ Collaborate.
✅ Comment.

Some Republican policymakers either don’t understand or care that SNAP benefits are so low that people can only afford unhealthy food because it’s cheap, quick, and easy to prepare. Instead of increasing benefits for healthy food, they’re making it harder for people to exist. https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/local-regional-news/2025-04-15/sanders-moves-to-ban-candy-soda-from-arkansas-snap-eligibility #uspol #foodpolicy

654 Millionen Menschen leben in extremer #Armut. Aber wie viele weitere Menschen auf der Welt können sich keine angemessene #Ernährung leisten?

Forschende unserer Uni betonen, dass dies bei den derzeitigen Armutsmetriken übersehen wird, obwohl es langfristige gesundheitliche Folgen hat. Tatsächlich sind Milliarden von Menschen davon betroffen: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html?id=7772

654 million people live in extreme poverty. But how many more people around the world cannot afford a basic nutritious diet?

Research led by our Uni highlights that current poverty metrics overlook this, despite the long-term health consequences. In fact, billions of people are affected: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=7774

Latest episode: Food facts are not the answer to fear of foods

“What kind of food system do we want for the future? What kind of questions should we be asking? Whose questions matter? What kind of questions matter and what kind of expertise is considered relevant?”
