GOOD FOOD MARCH August-September 2012

Presidential Palace, Warsaw, 2012

Events taking place across Europe!

The interactive Good Food March map shows all the activities planned this summer.

Let us know about your events and we will add them to the map today!

Let’s have a CAP that:

• Delivers secure and stable cost covering prices for farmers and fair prices for consumers.
• Values our natural, cultural and culinary heritage.
• Supports real family farms; both young and old. We can’t lose anymore farmers!
• Links subsidies directly to social, environment, and animal welfare criteria. Public money for public goods!
• Takes us to a greener and more sustainable agriculture, and promotes agro-ecological farming methods.
• Strengthens the social and economic development of rural communities.
• Guarantees the cultivation of local protein feed crops, rather than imported soy.
• Ensures greater equity between old and new EU Member States.
• Moves us towards food sovereignty.
• Assumes international responsibility and ensures that Europe and the global South become more self-sufficient.
• Rejects food speculation and ends the export of agricultural products at a price below their production cost.
