Together with his Danish counterpart Jacob Jensen, German Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir has called for the new EU Commission to present an EU protein strategy to promote the European production of protein crops. „We urgently need to focus more on this issue for the security of our food supply,“ said the Green politician at the EU Agriculture Council on Monday. Domestic feedstuffs are needed to reduce dependence on third countries. According to the EU Commission, only three percent of soy feed in the EU comes from domestic production, compared to two-thirds for rapeseed.
