Farmers are guardians of our food system

Description: Hundreds of farmers took to the streets of the capital of Europe with their tractors and a clear message: their farms and our food security are at stake. Agriculture is one of the sectors most severely affected by our heavy dependence on external gas supplies and imported fertilisers, which has significantly raised their production costs. Biogases play a pivotal role in fostering the agroecological transition. In rural areas, where agriculture is a primary economic activity, biogas production not only provides a sustainable energy alternative, but also addresses environmental challenges, such as converting organic waste into a valuable resource or enabling the use of digestate as an organic fertiliser made in Europe, just to name a few.
