EU Organic AwardsĮpisode 14 episode of Food for Europe is dedicated to the new EU Organic Awards, which will acknowledge different actors of the organic value chain and many of the issues surrounding organic production and consumption. Above all, the podcast demonstrates that when it comes to soil, it’s never too late to put things right. From conservation agriculture to education, and from research to innovation, we learn more about the diverse approaches to soil health, and how they are adapted to the enormous diversity of geological and climatic conditions across Europe. The 15th episode of Food for Europe introduces you to various individuals working towards the common goal of soil regeneration: farmers, researchers, officials and civil society activists. It’s the first time that soils have achieved such political importance across the EU. With around 70 per cent of Europe’s soils in poor health, the European Union has launched the EU Soil Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ to reverse this deterioration. Is our food security threatened? What will happen to the EU's objective of transitioning towards a more sustainable European agriculture? The 16th episode of Food for Europe gives voice to farmers, takes stock of the situation on agricultural markets and looks at the support measures announced by the European Commission, as well as the fears of environmental activists. Soaring energy, fertilizer and feed prices for conventional farms and the risk of shortages: just some of the impacts the geopolitical shock in Ukraine will have on our agriculture. As for Ukraine, it delivered 30% of the sunflower meal and 9% of the corn intended for our livestock. Before 24 February, the European Union imported 30% of the nitrogen fertilizers it uses for its crops from Russia.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine highlighted the dependence of European agriculture on both countries. Russia's invasion of Ukraine: is our food security under threat?

We also speak to the European Commission Agriculture and Rural Development directorate head of unit responsible for geographical indications about a new consolidated legislative proposal to update the way the system works, and we hear from the European Parliament’s rapporteur on the dossier about his views on the proposal. Food for Europe travelled to Modena to speak to a leading producer of this treasured condiment about the opportunities – and challenges – of the geographical indications system. Aceto balsamico di Modena is one such historical product benefiting from a protected geographical indication. Geographical indications add value for farmers, producers and communities, and they provide assurance to consumers.
