Euskaraz irakurri: EHNEk elikagai sintetikoen ekoizpena Euskadin debekatzeko eskatu du
The agricultural and livestock union EHNE Bizkaia has asked the Basque institutions to do this “Ban the production and marketing of synthetic food”.
EHNE Bizkaia, which announced the conclusions of its XII congress this Sunday, emphasized that a “clash” between two models of food production“food produced by the baserritarras” as opposed to “in vitro nutrition” which implies farming “without baserritarras”.
“Facing this reality it is not possible to continue defending the two modelsnor take a neutral position,” the Vizcaya Agriculture and Livestock Union stressed in a note when it demanded that the Basque institutions ban the production and commercialization of synthetic food.
After exposing that “industrialized agriculture has reached its limit as a production model in terms of sustainability”, EHNE Bizkaia indicates that “the next link in the synthetic feed“, which “will be presented as environmentally sustainable and ethical from the scale of values”.
For EHNE, the “actors” driving these processes are “the financial interests installed in the agribusiness and the institutional approval (also in Euskal Herria)”.
Faced with synthetic food, EHNE Bizkaia considers “more urgent than ever” a “paradigm shift from industrialized agriculture and fisheries to diversified agroecological systems and sustainable fisheries.
To defend”transform the agriculture and food system with the aim of making progress towards food sovereignty based on agroecology and sustainability, which ensures the conservation of biodiversity, the production of sustainable and local food, based on decent working conditions”.
This requires a “spatial planning and relocation of global production and distribution chains of food, which promote a close relationship between the producer and the consumer”.
