Calling for a greener and fairer CAP, several hundred farmers and consumers in colourful costumes from 12 countries came together in Strasbourg today for a series of actions outside the European Parliament as MEPs held their final debate on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) before the plenary vote on March 13th.
Today's action 'Farms instead of Factories' kicked off with an open-air cooking event and a live DJ, and ended with a human chain in front of the Parliament building. Leaders from the European movements for the environment, good food and good farming gave speeches. Many MEPs came to meet uwobr nnuspzw bcp vkrjz o ytud vu wkyf.
