Climate policy EARTHQUAKE: The EU’s paradigm shift on cows: ‘Europe’s plan to support livestock farmers recasts a climate problem as a strategic asset’
Politico: For years, the EU treated its cows, pigs and chickens mainly as a source of emissions to be reduced. On Tuesday, the European Commission gave them a new job title. Livestock, it now says, is critical infrastructure. … Herds underpin “strategic autonomy.” Grazing animals guard against land abandonment on the eastern flank. Food production is “preparedness.” … A sector responsible for around two-thirds of EU farm emissions and that uses a third of its land is no longer a problem to manage but an asset to defend. …
“Livestock is not only about agriculture,” Raffaele Fitto, the Commission’s executive vice president for cohesion and reforms, told reporters. “It is about competitiveness, it is about food security … and it is about Europe’s future.” …
On Tuesday, the Commission applied that promise to the most contested corner of European farming. The strategy does not ask whether Europe has too many animals. It treats having too few as the threat. …
The [farmers’] protests that clogged European capitals in 2024 and 2025 broke the political will behind the Green Deal, the EU’s flagship climate agenda. The Commission shelved much of its farm work and promised to steer policy from conditions toward incentives.
