Setting the Record Straight on the European Farmer Protests (English)

Farmers have been taking to the streets all over the world in recent months. During this webinar, we heard first-hand from farmers about the the roots of discontent in Europe and the protests they're leading in their countries. While they have often been painted by media as “anti-regulation”, we aimed to set the record straight by hearing the true causes of these protests straight from French and Spanish farmers, who demand farm policy reforms that support their livelihoods and communities.
