EU-Mercosur trade deal set to boost profits for world’s biggest meat company – at the expense of sustainable food systems.
New estimates by Dutch research institute Profundo published
today by Greenpeace Netherlands confirm what many already
suspected: the planned trade deal between the EU and Mercosur
countries (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay) will greatly
benefit billionaire food giants like the Brazilian company JBS, at
the cost of nature, climate, and the livelihoods of smallholder
farmers and ecological farmers in the EU and in Mercosur.
Profundo’s detailed methodology and full figures can be found here.
