Recital A
A. whereas farmers, sustainable use of nature resources, nature and biodiversity are the foundations of foodagriculture and food production and, without strong political action to conserve and restore nature and biodiversity, food security and the right to food will be irreversibly endangeredon cutting red tapes, enhancing competitiveness, supporting the European agriculture in being even more sustainable, decreasing the dependency on fossil inputs as well as our dependency on a small number of suppliers, together with minimising the negative impact on nature and biodiversity, the food security will decrease;

Supports the just transition to agro- ecological and organic farming; reiterates its support for the ambitions, targets and goals ofn more sustainable and circular agriculture, using less fossil inputs and antimicrobials; reiterates its support for an impact assessment on the targets in the farm to fork, biodiversity and zero- pollution strategies; welcomes, especially in the light of Russia’s illegal invasion and war in Ukraine; notice their published and announced legislative proposals, including those related to the reduction in the use of pesticides and their associated risks and the setting of EU food waste reduction targets;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Highlights that the avproduction of sustailnability ofle plant proteins, if consumed directly, is more than sufficient to meet global protein needs; acknowledges the positive impact that plant-based diets have on humans, animals, the planet and food security; stresses that reducing the number and density of farmed animals can effectively combat the climate and biodiversity crises, decrease the risk of zoonotic diseases and contribute to food security in the short and long terms for food and feed in Europe need to increase in order to reinforce the food security; thinks that support for research and innovation, training and advisory and up-scaling of innovative projects, among others, are important the increase the protein production in Europe;
Amendment 142 #

Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Emphasises that biofuel production negatively affects food security; denounces, moreover, the focus on short- tsustainable crop- based biofuel and biogas production have positive synergies with food security, as the production generate fertiliser, food and feed co-products essential for the food chain, as well as it decreases our dependency on import of fossil inputs; welcomes, moreover, the ongoing projects that can decarbonise the fertiliserms policy measures for example, on fertilisersroduction; underlines that closing the nutrient loop by reusing more high quality nutrients from different, streams, such as waste streams, sewage sludge and wastewater, is a further solution, that will allow to diversify fertilisers input, increase the sustainability of agriculture and the movement towards a more circular economy;

Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Reiterates its position on new genomic breeding techniques1 ; regrets the biased nature of the current impaunderline the need for new genomic breeding techniques as it can decrease the need of inputs such as plant protection products assessment and calls onnd fertiliser, and in the same time increase the yields and profitability; ask the Commission to restput forwartd the process in an inclusive mannerlegislative proposal on new genomic breeding techniques as soon as possible; __________________ 1 Resolution of 20 October 2021 on a farm to fork strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system.
