"I am voting for this new own-initiative report which, in the context of the profound economic and financial crisis and its growing impact on farmers, identifies problems upstream of farm production, focusing on the rising costs of purchased farm inputs in the fields of energy, machinery, compound feed, fertilisers, pesticides, seeds and water. In relation to the production sector, this report also notes the impact on farmers, who are becoming ever more dependent on an increasingly concentrated input industry. The aim of this report, which suggests measures to be taken within the upcoming reform of the common agricultural policy, is to analyse structures and markets aimed at creating new strategies which help farmers to reduce input costs, with a view to increasing their autonomy and income, so as to move towards a more efficient and sustainable use of means of production.
I also agree with the rapporteur on the need to support farmers so that they not only improve their agronomic and environmental performance, but also so that they can respond more effectively to climatic, environmental and economic challenges, particularly by adopting ‘greening measures’, and thus invest in greater resilience to climatic instability, increased soil health and fertility, and lower susceptibility to diseases."@en1
