Farmers have been taking to the streets all over the world in recent months. In this webinar hosted by the National Family Farm Coalition in the US , you can hear first-hand from farmers about 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”, the webinar 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.
