Are Europe's Food Supply Laws Failing Small Farmers?

The laws regulating the food supply chain in Europe haven't been working as intended. The goal was to protect farmers by ensuring fair payments and preventing unfair business practices. However, in reality, many small and medium-sized farms are still facing significant challenges. Large supermarket chains continue to push prices down, leaving many farmers struggling to cover their production costs.

Farmers future is struggling

This is a serious issue, especially for farmers who genuinely care about quality and sustainability. Those who are committed to cultivating with care and respect for the environment find it difficult to survive in a market that doesn't properly value their efforts. The purpose of these laws is well-meaning, but if they don't work in practice, we risk losing the farmers who truly make a difference—those who take responsibility for both our health and the planet's future.

We all need to act

It's high time that all of us—consumers, businesses, and lawmakers—take collective responsibility to support small and medium-sized farms. They are the backbone of our food system, and without them, we risk losing the diversity and quality that are so vital to both our food culture and our environment.
