Dear elected representatives, decision-makers, farmers and other stakeholders ! You may be receiving a new Letter for LESS and BETTER (an open letter) from time to time. You have to understand, don’t you, that nobody wants to harm farmers, and certainly not the ecologists (whatever the slanderers may say), but that there is a real environmental emergency, and not just an economic and social one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yet the majority of the Conseil R\u00e9gional du Grand Est has voted end of June 2023 in favour of a motion calling on the government to disregard the Court of Auditors’ report on public aid for cattle farms<\/a><\/strong> (French only) which shows that aids are ineffective<\/strong> and recommends a reduction in livestock numbers<\/strong>. This regional motion against the Court of Auditors must be contradicted. The conclusions of the Court of Auditors are relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To address the fundamental questions you’ll find here the first Letter for Less and Better, n\u00b0 zero<\/a>.<\/strong> It talks to you about the cattle industry, for a more sober, happier future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you financing “Farms of the Future”<\/strong>? Well, before you spend any money, make sure how you source the “Information for Future”! The house is on fire! <\/strong>Europe risks giving in, tragically, to the lobbies – but climate change won’t give in to empty rhetoric!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second issue of the Letter for Less and Better n\u00b01<\/strong> <\/a>talks about the externalities of livestock farming.<\/strong> If we want to keep the positive externalities of livestock farming but reduce or even eliminate the negative ones, the solution is simple: LESS and BETTER.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Letter LESS and BETTER No. 2<\/a><\/strong> talks about animal welfare<\/strong>.

Il faut que vous compreniez, n'est-ce pas, que personne ne veut du mal aux agriculteurs et certainement pas les \u00e9colos (quoi qu'en disent les calomnieurs), mais qu'il y a une vraie urgence environnementale et non seulement \u00e9conomique et sociale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Et pourtant la majorit\u00e9 du Conseil R\u00e9gional du Grand Est a vot\u00e9 fin juin 2023 une motion, soi-disant de soutien aux agriculteurs, demandant au gouvernement de ne pas tenir compte du rapport de la Cour des Comptes sur les aides attribu\u00e9es \u00e0 la fili\u00e8re bovine<\/strong>, rapport qui d\u00e9montre leur inefficacit\u00e9 et recommande une baisse du cheptel. Cette motion r\u00e9gionale contre la Cour des Comptes doit \u00eatre contredite. Les conclusions de la Cour des Comptes sont pertinentes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour aborder les questions de fond vous trouvez ici la premi\u00e8re Lettre MOINS et MIEUX nomm\u00e9e n\u00b0 z\u00e9ro<\/a><\/strong>.

Eh bien, appliquez-vous, avant de d\u00e9penser, \u00e0 bien sourcer les \"Informations du Futur\" !
