They stress that explicit naming of agriculture and bieconomy is essential to reflect Europe’s strategic priorities, support innovation, and ensure continued investment in food security, sustainability, and rural development.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The signatories call on policy-makers to reject these changes and preserve the <a
