EU lawmakers narrowly pass 'nature restoration bill' | DW News

- The European Parliament has accepted a key biodiversity bill that will see the restoration of CO2-storing peatlands but has been criticized by farmers and other opposition groups due to fears they might lose land. Testing the EU's global climate credentials, the lawmakers supported the European Commission plan in a razor-thin 324-312 vote with 12 abstentions.
After weeks of intense negotiations and despite the steadfast opposition of the legislature's biggest group, the European People's Party, the plan survived in the vote at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Immediately after its approval, lawmakers started voting on more than 100 amendments in a bid to adjust the plan. These amendments will be negotiated with the member states of the EU, signifying a months-long process before the final law can be approved. The debate surrounding the law had become an important campaign issue prior to the European elections in June 2024. The makeup of the next European Parliament will influence the priorities of the next European Commission, which is currently led by Ursula von der Leyen. The full chamber had to vote on the bill after a parliamentary commission failed to agree on a position.
The Nature Restoration Act was at the center of the EU's biodiversity strategy, forming part of the bloc's Green Deal approach to boost environmental protection and mitigate the effects of climate change. Degraded ecosystems could be restored by boosting forested areas and marine habitats as well as increasing connectivity between rivers. The bill will allow for 30% of all former peatlands currently exploited for agriculture to be restored and partially shifted to other use by the end of the decade, a figure rising to 70% by 2050. Farmers' associations and EU conservative politicians had previously complained that farmers would be too restricted by protective measures, and even claimed the bill could endanger food security in the EU. EU legislators from center-left, green and left-wing groups in the parliament supported the legislation, with many joining Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg in a protest in favor on Tuesday. On the other side, farmers with tractors responded to a call by the European farmers' association Copa-Cogeca and demonstrated against the nature conservation law in front of the parliament.

#EuropeanUnion #Biodiversity #nature restoration bill
People claiming it will cause food insecurity while we throw 30% of all food right in the garbage is incredible.
Exactly! Plus, producing real, edible food and not ingredients for ultra processed foods (UPFs) that make us sick!
You live in a pie in the sky World. Creating food shortages is not the answer to either food waste or environmental issues.
that's a buffer. guess from where is Europe going to get the food that it won't produce anymore? from poor countries no matter if their agricultural practices are green or not. just look from where is germany buying some of it's coal, on example is kolombia where last year they destroyed a nature reserve in order to cover the increased german demand.
@@gardencity3558you’re making insinuations that were not present in op’s comment
That's a bit of a silly argument though. We'll always throw away food unless you want the goverment to tell you exactly what you have to buy that day. The food being thrown away is mostly because people don't buy it and it expires. A big surplus of food will always be needed unless you want to come in to a store thats almost completely empty if you're unlucky.
Big businesses always prioritize short-term profits over long-term... everything. I'm just glad it passed. We could use a bill like this in the United States.
meanwhile big governments fly everywhere with jets and eat expensive meats. you more on.
We want this type of law in India too
Currently holidaying in France, 30 years ago, my car would be covered in dead bugs, after almost 2 weeks, there’s almost none after 1500kms driving.
...and still, any lobbyist for Big Agro who eventually stumbles across a spider in his basement, will claim that there is no problem, because: Spider! Remember those guys bringing snowballs into parliaments, to dispute the existence of man-made climate change?!
Noticed same in last few years.
borders, part of that is your car being more aerodynamic now.
good observation
@@grahamfloyd3451 That's only part of the reason. And cars 30 years ago were not that much less aerodynamic
This law is a taking a long-term approach. Building healthy, resilient ecosystems enables healthier soils and crops. Transition support for the farmers most impacted is also important too.
You will eat those GMO's with your bug's... If the farmers don't want to help transition you through the food they would have to grow, then the council will decide if the farmer get's to exist anymore law.
Unfortunately the UK will never do this fantastic idea now we've left yhe EU
I can tell you this that will never happen in the United States.
Careful, this law aims to protect 20% of Europe. 30% of the US is already protected. But I agree, an analogous law calling for more protected land would never pass Congress.
Ist about to protect additional 20% of the farmland. Forests, lakes, etc. have been protected before already.
As happy as I am to see this we really should have been doing this years ago.
:) Decades, really...
The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.
@@Arrow14100 Wisdom for the ages! :)
This law is like Biden's ban of fracking. Fracking was banned in USA but they started to import oil. Europe will start to import more food from countries that do not give a damn for nature to replace food not produced in Europe. This law is good for Europe but not for anyone else.

I am particularily worried about my own government in Poland, that over the years shown us that they dont care about the nature, and will "protect" coal for example.

Dissaster, without looking at the impacts...ideologically prejudiced.
Fact is, we need to live more greener, gather resourses from space.
I know it is a slim margin but I'm so proud that they managed to get this bill passed. This is an extremely meaningful step towards the future that we need. Thank you Europe for leading by example 🙏🙏🙏💯👏
Finally, hopefully this will help against desertification
How near sighted could those people be, there'll be no land to farm if all the land are dry or flooded. Lose a bit of food today so we can have continue to live or else there'll be no food for us.
Why dont you start with the big cities and all the destroyed forests huh
Nice to see they didn't bring in an opposing view
Yes the farmers Assosiactions guy clearly was happy about the law......sure sure sure.........
It would be good to have some more information. What happens to the farmers who have large areas? Will they lose it? Will it be any compensation to them?
Great Progress Rejuvenate our Depleting Soils! 🕊🐝🌱🌏💖
Amazing news! Wish more countries would follow the EU’s lead to save our planet
Nope you gonna Eat the amazon away, thanks white people
Ignorance of things is fun till you have to actually pay for them little girl.
And they will, agroforestry, Syntropy is the future!
Then EU countries should reduce their over consumption of resources.
A clueless muppet.
It will be interesting to see how this affects EU food security in the future. Whether EU will be dependent on others to supply them food.
Its really interesting to see people who dont know a single thing about farming trying to teach farmers how to farm...
@@MilitantPacifist69 u see, if in that report they consider a small scale farmer the one that they interviewed then that is an issue, that dude definitely doesnt make a living from that 5 by 10 meters plot of land, let alone feed himself, so its a giventhat that kind of people dont really care
@@MilitantPacifist69 here's also an interesting point 2:36 ''if area surrounding his farm were restored that would help his crops grow even better'', why somebody else has to give away a part of their livelihood so that some hobby farmer might grow subjectively better crop? Theres clear incentive from their part. Why not return that small plot back to the nature? More benefit that way.
@@MilitantPacifist69 I wonder how much people will care about all of that when they WILL be starving to death...

They will have to pay mega bucks for this 20% of land.
0.0001% chance of Denmark doing that we are a country of a Fish and farm mafia that already have destroyed all of our more than 7000km coast and 99% of our land. 15 yr since i last caught a flounder on danish coast.

@@madselmvig1457 as people that work with environmental restoration say: Danish environmental laws are signed at Christiansborg but written at Axelborg

@@madselmvig1457 sorry to say but you clearly dont know what you are talking about. so you say industry and $ dont impact laws greatly? dumb thing to say!
The fact is that even Danish Nature-protection law (naturbeskyttelsesloven) is a law that protect farming and land use not nature in its own right, a protected meadow or heat land are protected as places to farm and have livestock, not to care about specific natural species of plants or animals. Our forest-protection law (fredskovsloven) is a law that protects farming trees and mostly none native species, not nature in any native or natural form.
Our waterways protection law are a law for the purpose of draining, not natureprotection: "Section 1. This Act seeks to ensure that watercourses can be used for the diversion of water, in particular surface water, waste water and drainage water."
The law of Danish Naturprotection from 1992 was a protection of farming practices of land use up until that date 1992. otherwise it would be a case of Expropriation.
And what ministry did "Miljø og naturstyrelsen" until recently reside under - The ministry of Environment and Agriculture.
And it was not the nature environment they was naming for, it was the environment for farming...
i have been working this area for 20 years and won over 100 cases for nature in precourt (natur og miljøklagenævnet)
Dont come here with you ignorance
I hope the rest of the world follows suit
Countries like India Vietnam don't care about this stuff at the moment. They throw litter across their country side and do not understand why it's bad. They have a long way to go. China is better from what I have heard they are very green energy oriented, but I haven't been there.
@@mastervibes2296 China is cleaner but they must reduce over reliance on coal. Fusion reactor they are building is more promising in my opinion.
No thanks, I like food security.
@@gardencity3558Europe will have the most secure food supply when the ground is the only fertile soil in the world due to industrial farming in countries like the USA. But hey enjoy your next meal and remember it was grown artificial using fertilizers made from fossil fuels. 🤢🤢🤢🤢
@@blackpanthar906 "China is cleaner..." is wrong on every level. *The* most polluted country in the world by any metric (choose any pollution/toxicity study and China will be number one) and they are putting all-in with coal by building many, many coal palnts EACH year making anything EU does have no effect.
So what they mean is food will fet more expensive and more will be imported from countries with little or no care for the land or climate. This is basically what this is 😂
Not really, vertical farming is becoming very popular in Europe and will most likely take over as the space required is drastically reduced.
@@wulf7463 haha bs. That is natural
@@wulf7463First make it work to Industrial scale then we will talk
@@martins3885 that is exactly what this law aims to do! Because why should any farmer try out this kind of farming ,when his competitors just dont do it and can sell cheaper because of that. This law paves the way for sustainable agriculture.
I approve the passing of this bill and agree nature should be a big priority for all, but I am more and more disappointed with DW news ridiculously one-sided coverage. They interviewed an organic farmer and a Greenpeace representative, but no farmer or person impacted by the new rules. It's by listening to their grievances that we can find a solution to the problem, not by ignoring the people whose labor sustain us.
Using ANYONE from Greenpeace is already a massive red flag. Greenpeace is NOT a scientifically founded organization.
Sure you are bot. That's why you are totally real and not generated with the same algorithm as thousands of other names.
I agree
@@BeKindToBirds"Anybody who doesn't agree with me is a bot!". Europeans in 2023 🤦🏿♂️
Great news
This is one of the best things the EU did. in the last years it decades
Garbage. This will leave Europe hungry or at least not able to afford food. This will never happen in USA because he are we don’t share land and we own our farms so at least we have guaranteed food security.
You don't own your farms. US banks own them. Monsanto genetic modified seeds aren't cheap. John Deere blocks farmers from repairing their own equipment.
food production makes it so that people aren't as thankful for their food or see it's value.
the problem, world wide, is the industrial farming. they have forced out the real small farmers while causing devastation by abusing the soil and the environment as a whole. they have reduced costs through volume and choosing varieties that store longer, harvest easier, and ship better instead of varieties that taste better and are more nutritious. they have enabled the processed food industry that has been killing us for decades. we need to change the definition of a farm... it should only be a farm if the farmer lives on it and does the work. here in usa the rich have gobbled most of the land including agricultural land in the past several decades. this authoritarian trend has been shown to be very susceptible to disastrous events. distributed small farms will be more resilient in disasters which are going to be increasing for the foreseeable future (centuries).
and torturing animals too.
I'm not sure the biodiversity they had in mind meant cultivating few crops side by side. How will this affect food security? I wonder if the green hippies that are driving this change, have thought the whole thing through.
Big farmers don't want to change their way of doing things but they have to be held to greater standards.
If a factory pollutes a river government steps in and sets the permissible amount of pollution. Now this needs to happen with big farmers, the pollution of Nitros oxides and methane from cattle farmers and huge monocrop fields.
Less big farmers and more smaller family farmers even if that means increased prices for food, farmers deserve to make a living wage but big farms have lowered the cost of food production and reduced the cost of food to an unsustainable level. It undercuts small farmers.
Replace big farmers with Oil companies and you still get the same sad story
Definitely, you do not know anything about yields in agriculture. The organic farmer can only feed his family and 2 more maybe for a season. Idiotic laws will be the undue of Europe
Yeah! We can afford more expensive food!
This kind of madness is the reason why EU now shat itself watching daily goods from developing countries mercilessly bombarding Europe their affordable prices while Europe can do nothing against it but ridiculously put barriers here and there which at the end would serioulsy hurts European itself
@@EzekielDeLaCroix Food prices will drop when the farmland of Ukraine (the largest amount of farmable land in Europe) can join the EU to grow crops in peace without Russian corruption interfering with farmers.
Finnish: But, this is my house!

Farmers complaining about it can zip it. They’ve been driving Porches here in Netherlands lol
Small farmers did not support it.

Congratulations fur Humans und fur Earth!😎🤘🤩
these speakers are always very general in their reasoning and in my opinion a bit detached from reality
Healiter wildlife and farming across Europe in a changing world is great!
Support the farmers and environmentalists!
Sounds like a very small ‘win’, this law has already been watered down so much, one can only hope it works like some homeopatic cure…
So wonderful to hear
This will only encourage more outsourcing and food importing from countries who will abuse the land and people.
Food security!?!? What about the excess food that is produced and sold en masse to then end up in landfill unused on so called cheap deals in the supermarket. Real land real food real prices. So plant what grows and eat regional foods as we all used to.
This is GREAT news!!
It is
Finally some action, but it is long overdue. We are running out of time to save ourselves and the planet.
Great! Huge single-crop fields destroy the landscape and nature. Not to mention pesticides. Concerning that it passed so narrowly. Should've been a huge majority. Shows how much power the agro-lobby has in the EU parlament
Great news. Thank you MEPs who voted to support this law. Let’s hope the member states honour their commitments.
People worrying about food security when we grow enough grain to feed the whole world, yet feed a huge amount of it to animals, so that humans can eat the animals. Transitioning away from eating animals and products of their reproductive systems will increase food security, help tackle environmental issues (animal farming is a massive polluter) and lead to healthier populations. But no, animal ag is heavily subsidised and has a powerful elite supporting it, so they will always fight any attempt to improve the environment/climate. Animal ag has led to more extinction and destruction of biodiversity than plant farming. Yet, people want change, without changing their own habits. When are you going to realise, we cannot rely on governments to implement change, start that change yourself by transitioning to a plant-based diet. (My notifications are turned off, I won't ever read your comment, so whatever you say in response won't be seen by me). 😘
I would love to hear their plans for food security. I agree we should co-exist with other living things but I hope they have a good plan for people too.
the plan for food security is conserving 'other living things', as they say in the 5min video you commented...
@@anyfour536 That's not a plan.
More than 11 million tons of food are wasted in germany every year.
I don't think food shortages will be a thing in Germany. Maybe for some very specific foods but not on the level of "people will starve".
Farmers are right to be upset about not getting enough support in making the law reality and the financial implications this will have on them but in the end they will just have to drive up the prices so that it is worth it for them again. 🤷🏼♂️
@@KajSeVai Passing laws like this should not result to more expensive foods. If that happens then people would repeal this law and maybe make it harder in the future to pass similar laws. Thats why Im wondering what the plans are about food. The people shouldnt be made to choose between a good life and nature. Lawmakers should aim to harmonize both interests.
@@luceononuro I agree. But trading nature for comfort isn't an option either. So if the best they can do is preserve nature on our dime then so be it.
Good news! Should be 50%
You must have a lot of finacial recouses to be able to make this kind of demand and be VERY secure about your future because most states acknowledge the fact that in order to remain competitive with the world, ideals should stay ideals if their implementation would negativley affect the vast majority of a countries population.
Nature until the short of foods.
whatever happened to living like people used to live? Farmers didn't have machines and they didn't have GMOs or chemicals and there were no factory farms torturing animals around. They worked hard, and they probably sweat outside in the sun alot, and had to provide for their own families. There was lots of fresh air, no pollution anywhere in sight, and they could drink water (probably had to boil some) or they found spring water or dug a well deep in the earth to collect the water. Those farmers are innocent...compared to how people are now.
It's a step to avoid *ecosystem collapse*. That is at the very core of this issue. Just taste these words in your mouth. Then direct your outrage against those who work against a minimum-step bill like this. It's time for change!
It s not enough if just the EU is doing it. China and US polute much more and I see no measures to change.
This is a big win! We hope many governments and organisations will come together to put such an important issue at the front. We would add your video to one of our playlists to inspire the audience not to lose hope and keep fighting.

This is going to screw up farming so bad
What a waste of time
Farmers pretend saying to be pro-food but what they are actually saying is pro-money.
They just want big farms with cheap pesticide and cheap fertilizer so they can make more and more money.
And the banks gladly give them the loans.
I can go on like this for a while..
The most simple Answer is usually the right one. In this case it is: MONEY
you gonna be hungry - 😢
Sounds great until you realize how much less food will be produced and the ramifications of Europe needing to find more.
I am happy, this is happening now finally - yet, I also think "the farmers need/have to realize" won't work and might make them feel more resistant and a bit disenfranchised even, which will lessen the possibility of them willingly jump on board!
Someone will have to engage in a constructive conversation/discussion with them and also realize possible practical hurdles they are facing in reality.
Of course, this doesn't excuse any "but I only know to do it the old way and I'm too old, poor [since there are supposed to be support programs, if I understood that correctly?] or whatever to change my established processes now" on the farmer's side either!
Both side have to engage in eye-level conversation - and that can only happen, if the farmers, who are not yet on board with the decision, need to be acknowledged first in their fears, dread or whichever emotions might cause such resistance and be listened-to!
If anyone tries to implement any such vital decisions with force and from authority/hierarchy, this will backfire in the end with almost certainty, i.m.h.o. because - conscious or subconsciously - farmers will then cause the problems that will show the shortcomings that they saw and were not acknowledged with beforehand.
Also, we probably need to do this conversation to bring them "into the boat" with this law-decision, while the law is being implemented and gently enforced.
Too much force and 💩will likely hit the fan - same with too little decisiveness and only mushy legislation/regulation.
The time of "symbolic Political Decisions" is long over now - I hope this isn't just another attempt at something like that!
And I think we will need to address food wastage and over-production, too (as others have already mentioned in the comments here), when we want to resolve the problems we're facing!
This is a really complex challenge and we need solutions, that are interconnected and interfacing each other - because that is how Nature is spinning outta control, too! It's CO2 mainly and all its sources, yes, but there are also other chain-reactions to the already warming Climate, that can super-charge it and - at least i.m.h.o. - definitely *will* do so in some time (it's only a matter of *when* and not *if* by now!)...
Well, this is the greatest Challenge our Species has ever faced as a Civilization and it should and can unite us - but if we rigidly cling to outdated and inhumane ideas, that in addition to this challenge also turn us against each other, this might very likely be the Beginning of the End of our Civilization, if not Species!
Cheerio fellow Earthlings!
waste is never good. Especially when people labor for it, food production makes it so that people aren't as thankful for their food or see it's value.
Ireland needs this. They destroyed all the forests during the colonial era.
Amazing to hear it passed.

Europe is just a small portion of the world. You seize your land and cannot develop for the use and economy and yet your neighboring country like China and India owns huge area of land and they contribute to climate change. What change you can give to the world? This measure doesn’t work if only one part of the world, this has to be the whole nation do it. If you don’t cultivate your land for farming and development, how you are going to continue to funds your economy for the next 100 years?

But won't European agriculture company just go else where like South America, Africa or even Asia to do their environmentally taxing farming? Because ultimately this would defeat the purpose of the bill. Yes Europe is "clean" but if the world as a whole is naturally deteriorating then ultimately Europeans would be affected.
European agriculture companies can't "just go else". South America, Africa or even Asia all have corrupt agribusiness cartels already there. The infrastructure is below European standards. Droughts there are increasing every year.
Well... its better than nothing, but I see your point.
That depends on the how big the farm is? And why you are farming to begin with are you farming for food sovereignty or are you trying to make a cash crop.
We Indians also want this law
It is part of distribution of income to larger group of people, good.

THIS WILL FORCE OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD TO BE DEFORESTED AND OPENED TO FARMING TO FEED THE EU...but all the self involved gen z and young millenials...who've never done a day's work can be happy.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS. FOOD INSECURITY IS ASSURED THROUGHOUT THE EU. Farming will be nearly impossible. Food subsidizes will abound for consumer. Hunger will become a standard.
I hope this helps insect populations begin to recover and tree replanting helps with carbon uptake amd prevention of soil loss. It almost sounds like too little, too late, but at least it's SOMETHING.
It's pretty ambitious plan tbf. Restoring 20% of the EU's land area in just 7 years. Let's hope they actually manage to do it.
@@guerreiro943 I bet they can't and many would doing it half-heartedly. No countries in Europe would willing to freeing up their-already limited space to do the environmentalists biddings.

@@innocentiuslacrim2290 Its "narrowly passed", you think those who say no to that bill would sing kumbalaya and happily ride to the sunshine??
@@ignatiusryd2031 already limited space? Ukraine has the most space of any country inside Europe and would gladly do that if it could join the European Union.
Artisanal farming will not feed the world.
Exactly..that's how Sri Lanka got destroyed and will never get up again
This guy isn't the future. Vertical farming is. Less space, more produce. Lab grown meat alone will free up a massive amount of recourses and the researchers aso. are already on the edge of making it affordable enough to be a commerical success.

@@sammiller6631 nope
@@sammiller6631Debt traps AND "net-zero" policies. It's hilarious. And now Sri Lankans will flee to Europe. More mouths to feed 😂
