As someone who has been actively concerned about food and water for almost half a century, I appreciate that Food & Water Watch is bringing accurate and important information to people spreading the word about issues that only a few of us used to be aware of.

    Food & Water Europe monitors the practices of multinational corporations that impact our food and water. We work with grassroots organizations around the world to create a genuinely economically and environmentally viable future.

    Agriculture

    European agriculture is in the midst of a radical transformation. Small-scale family farms — for centuries the backbone of European economic and social vitality — are disappearing at an alarming rate. Meanwhile, industrial, factory-style operations are proliferating, to the detriment of the economy, the environment, and food safety.

    Consumer Rights

    Consumers rely on regulators and governments to rigorously and impartially ensure that food and its packaging are safe and that companies are being held to account for their practices.

    Fish

    Fishing has been part of the European way of life for centuries, providing food and employment for generations. Industrial-scale fishing run by multinational corporations is now threatening both the fish and the people who rely on them. What is happening is not universally agreed: some studies suggest fish stock are close to collapsing, while some fishers say their catches show clear signs of strong recovery.

    Water

    There is a battle brewing over who owns water. A resource as vital as water should not be exposed to the highest bidder. In the past decade the privatization of water resources in Europe has seen a rapid increase and big companies have profited from this.

    Questionable Technologies

    Rather than support real farming and proper safety standards, companies looking to keep profits up often turn to techno-fixes that put our health and environment at risk.

    Oceans & Coasts

    In response to BP’s suspect safety record in the United States, Food & Water Europe is calling on the Department of Energy & Climate Change and the Health and Safety Executive in the United Kingdom to immediately investigate the five deepwater platforms operated by BP in the North Sea and North Atlantic.
