Profesionist sau consumator? Cum redefinim relația dintre fermieri și marile corporații - Economica.net

A recent Eurobarometer shows that 95% of Europeans value agriculture and rural areas for Europe's future. This highlights the need to address power imbalances in the agricultural sector. Farmers often face significant challenges when negotiating with large corporations, as they lack the same resources and expertise. While farmers need to improve their financial and legal knowledge, companies also bear responsibility for supporting them. The relationship between farmers and corporations should be redefined, recognizing farmers as both professionals and consumers. There is a clear need for regulation to protect farmers and ensure fair practices in contracts. This issue should be a public policy priority to rebalance these relationships.
