Tackle deforestation at source: Oilseed, grain industry
London, 18 November (Argus) — The EU grains, compound feed and oilseeds industry has flagged the "wrong approach" from the European Commission on a proposed law to combat deforestation, emphasising that the problem should be addressed at its source, in partnership with producing countries.
Industry associations Fediol, Coceral and Fefac said that their industries are "committed to improving their sustainable practices" and are supportive of the EU's role in tackling deforestation. But "practical solutions are needed to steer change on the ground," the associations said.
