I received this invitation. (comments at the end)

------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,

The first part of the 5th EUSO Stakeholders Forum will be an online event on 12th June, focussing on the topic "Soil health and EU competitiveness". During this event, case studies from the private sector will show how healthy soils can promote competitiveness in terms of the three pillars:
a) closing the innovation gap
b) decarbonisation and competitiveness
c) reducing excessive dependencies

The event includes presentations from the biotechnology sector, agribusiness, banking-financial sector, remediation industry, start-ups, carbon farming, development of clean products and retail industry.

More information as Agenda, Speakers and Registration can be found in the page:

Kind Regards,
Panos PANAGOS, PhD.

Scientific/Research Officer
Project Leader of EU Soil Observatory (EUSO)

My thoughts:
Ok, we need urgently more awareness about soils. We need more #OrganicAgriculture, #RegenerativeAgriculture, #AgroecologicalTransition, #CommunitySupportedAgriculture and much more. What we *definitely* don't need, is a meeting with NOT A SINGLE FARMER, but people from Syngenta, Bayer, Nestlé and a bunch of other industry representatives to allow them to show that they are trying soo hard to protect our environment while they do everything they can to sabotage meaningful policy changes. Venture capital funded Start-ups and old villains are definitely not the structural change the agrifood-system needs.

Maybe it will still be an informative event, who knows.

Thank you for listening.

I still think @EUCommission 's #fines are not a real "#penalty"!

  • Banning #Apple and/or jailing it's C-level in contempt until they comply would be.

After all, if I were to do the same shit [hypothetically, as a small and/or domestic business in the #EU] I'd soon face a judge dismantling my business as a "criminal enterprise" and stripping it for assets to pay damages, alongside confiscating any profits made.

Remember: If the penalty for a crime is a fine it's only illegal for the poor!

Guys, not gonna lie, I love the #European Digital Markets Act #DMA. It is so sweet and juicy when these #American privacy- and indentity-stealing complained get punished. Let’s hope for further steps.

Yet another reminder to #BuyEuropean.

Das Gejammer der Verlage kann ich echt nicht mehr nachvollziehen.
Gegen Werbung ist nix einzuwenden. Gegen Tracking aber sehr wohl.
