🧀 **Cheese 2025** will animate Bra, Italy, in September with debates on raw milk cheese production, threatened by new Ministry of Health guidelines. These guidelines impose stringent controls that may force small Italian producers, like Mattia Amich, to cease operations. During the event, Slow Food's leaders, including Carlo Petrini, and the Piemonte Agriculture Minister, Paolo Bongioanni, will discuss preserving local cheese traditions. This event attracts thousands, promoting cheese as a crucial cultural and economic element.

🌱 AssoBio, FederBio, and IFOAM Organics Europe express concerns about the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (PAC) reform, unveiled on July 16, 2025. The reform focuses on income support through surface payments, potentially weakening environmental commitments. Nicoletta Maffini, AssoBio's president, advocates allocating at least 30% of PAC funds for environmental protection and sustainable agricultural practices. Without mandatory eco-friendly measures, the reform risks undermining sustainable agriculture and European food sovereignty.
