For two years, farmers have taken to the streets across Europe, protesting against rising production costs, environmental regulations and growing competition from abroad. While Brussels has responded with concessions and financial support, the debate over the future of European agriculture is far from over.
Can the EU keep providing a political shield to farmers as it shifts its focus to defence and global trade? This question is at the heart of this edition of The Ring, with Irish Renew MEP Ciaran Mullooly and Finnish EPP MEP Pekka Toveri. As the EU prepares its next long-term budget, Mullooly and Toveri debate whether the Common Agricultural Policy should remain a political priority, clash over the future of CAP funding, and discuss how rising geopolitical tensions, trade agreements and climate pressures are reshaping Europe's farming sector.
Listen to this edition of The Ring, brought to you from the European Parliament studios in Strasbourg.
The Ring is Euronews’ weekly political showdown, where Europe’s toughest debates meet their boldest voices.
