More than 80% of the public money given to farmers through the EU\u2019s common agriculture policy (CAP) went to animal products in 2013 despite the damage they do to society, according to a study in Nature Food. Factoring in animal feed doubled the subsidies that were embodied in a kilogram of beef, the meat with the biggest environmental footprint, from \u20ac0.71 to \u20ac1.42 (61p to \u00a31.22).<\/p>\n<p>The EU, which plans to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, spends nearly one-third of its entire budget on CAP subsidies. \u201cThe vast majority of that is going towards products which are driving us to the brink,\u201d said Paul Behrens, an environmental change researcher at Leiden University and co-author of the study.<\/p>\n<p>The subsidy scheme, which pays more to farms that occupy more land, results in \u201cperverse outcomes for a food transition\u201d because livestock take up more space than plants and are inefficiently fed crops that could have gone to people, the researchers found. To produce the same amount of protein, beef requires 20 times more land than nuts and 35 times more than grains. Behrens said the political inertia meant the EU was maintaining this system in the face of an environmental crisis. \u201cWe\u2019re incentivising the worst-case scenario,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>To calculate the full extent of EU support for animal products, the researchers linked subsidy records to an academic database on food flows and traced public money through the supply chain in 2013, the latest year for which the latter held data. The CAP has been reformed twice since then but the split in direct subsidies \u2013 before factoring in trade flows \u2013 has stayed roughly constant for animal- and plant-based foods.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/apr\/01\/eu-four-times-more-money-farming-animals-than-growing-plants-cap-subsidy\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/apr\/01\/eu-four-times-more-money-farming-animals-than-growing-plants-cap-subsidy\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/eu-pumps-four-times-more-money-into-farming-animals-than-growing-plants\/\">EU pumps four times more money into farming animals than growing plants<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[274,13989,2603,1764,6309,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-129370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-eu","tag-farming-animals","tag-growing","tag-money","tag-plants","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129370\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
