Hi. Thanks for summary work.
I just have 3 points which I disagree with:
small-scale and subsistence agriculture without heavy machinery should be preserved
In France we are fighting for a universal income. I think it’s not compatible to fight for both. If people work less and can chose their wortk, i really dont think they will go remove grass in small field. For me it’s the exact opposite, less people will be farmers.
ambitious binding targets reducing pesticides and synthetic fertilizers use
The word “syntetic” is useless and problematic for me. It could be understood than “natural” pesticides and fertilizers dont need to be reduced or are good. I think we should remove this word. Furthermore, less syntetic products mean more animal exploitation (to remplace them)
Pirates back the shift towards a more organic food production
I dont think’s it’s a good thing to promote organic algriculture. First, it is generating more CO2. Then, I think it is really hypocritical and elitist to push for something that produced less. People are still dying of hunger around the world and inside our countries.
We can take example for Egypt which is the biggest wheat importer: they have same yiled than ours but when they have 3 acres/person we have 29acres/person.
We see with ukrianan war that food is a main tool for
geopolitical pressure.
I will try to had a point about disccused subjects in France: GMO, storage of water and glyphosate.
My point is: they are tools.
Not using tools on principle is, in my opinion, stupid; just as asserting that the use made of these tools will always be beneficial is just as.
