"This report is the result of a European Parliament initiative to try to redirect certain policies given the imbalances in the distribution chain for agricultural products, particularly commodities such as cereals and fossil fuels (known as inputs). The existence of a balance of power heavily in favour of distributors and to the detriment of farmers is well documented. It condemns many of the latter to misery by no longer allowing them to make a living from their work with dignity. This paper asks, therefore, that we redress the balance and that we promote sustainable agriculture that respects the environment through limited importation and limited use of these input products. Emphasis is also placed on training farmers and agronomists and on technical developments with a view to promoting the European Union’s food sovereignty and protecting Europeans better against food shortages. I am not under any illusion as to how seriously this report will be taken into account by the European institutions, but I think it is going in the right direction: the direction of social justice and ecological transition."@en1
