European agriculture is in the midst of a radical transformation. Small-scale family farms –– for centuries the backbone of European economic and social vitality –– are disappearing at an alarming rate. Meanwhile, industrial, factory–style operations are proliferating, to the detriment of the economy, the environment, and food safety.
The main beneficiaries of this new industrial farming model are multinational food processors and marketers such as Danone, Kraft and Sara Lee, which convert low-quality raw materials from factory farms into mass–produced processed foods. All the while, rural economies, environmental protection, food quality, and animal welfare conditions suffer.
Food & Water Europe is working with farming, consumer, environmental, and animal welfare organizations to reform the CAP to protect rural communities, public health, and food safety.
