"I voted in favour of this resolution because only through joint efforts can we help farmers reduce costs in order to increase their autonomy and income. Furthermore, an effectively functioning farm input supply chain will contribute to a more efficient and sustainable use of production resources. Attention is drawn to the fact that due to resource scarcity, growing demand for food and EU farmers’ limited opportunities to obtain cheaper feed on the world market, upward pressure on input prices is constantly rising. It is therefore very important to ensure that farmers are given proper support so that agricultural and environmental performance improves and new climatic, environmental and economic challenges are addressed. I believe that in the next research framework programme, more funds need to be allocated for research and development in the efficient use and management of farm inputs and improving agronomic efficiency. Enhanced cooperation between the public and private sectors, as well as farmers’ organisations, should also be encouraged at EU level. In order to increase their purchasing power, farmers must be encouraged to collectively organise the storage and purchase of inputs and to form groups for better resource management and sustainable practices."@en1
