From #EUAgriFoodDays Swedish dairy farmer Hulda Wirsén ’ We have invested in a productive, efficient and circular farming system. My farm is dependent on other farms in the region. We need to see more farms and more cows for environmental and food security objectives!

Today united for our message to European Commission that Europe’s peace, food security and prosperity are depending on farmers. A strong and common cap budget is a fundamental cornerstone in EU policy ensuring stability and a truly common EU single market.
