Supporting Our Farmers: A Top Priority

While most political parties focus on immigration, military rearmament, climate change, or chasing the unemployed, the Revolution Movement makes protecting our farmers an absolute priority.

Since sovereignty is the driving force behind our political struggle, we know that no political sovereignty can exist without food sovereignty. Revolution fully supports farmers who perform a difficult profession, too often underestimated.

Agricultural Solidarity in Challenging Times

Faced with the growing difficulties confronting our farmers, it is essential to clearly affirm our solidarity with those who feed our children and preserve our rural territories.

A Weakened Agriculture Due to European Decisions

Many farmers today observe that policies implemented at the European level no longer reflect the realities on the ground:

• Excessive administrative constraints
• Unfavorable international trade agreements
• Lack of decisions adapted to the concrete needs of farms

These factors gradually weaken farms, whether Belgian, French, Greek, or British.

For Revolution, this situation threatens the food sovereignty of the countries concerned and accelerates the disappearance of a sector essential to the economy, employment, rural traditions, and environmental balance.

Contagious Nodular Dermatitis: A Real Disease, Contested Management

Contagious nodular dermatitis is a viral disease affecting cattle. While serious, experts note that:

• Its contagion remains limited within a properly monitored herd
• Effective remedies exist to reduce the risk of spread

However, despite these prevention tools, some authorities apply extremely strict measures, even culling an entire herd after a single positive case. These decisions lead not only to the loss of hundreds of animals but also the destruction of an entire lifetime of work.

An Injustice for Farming Families

Behind every culled farm, there is:

• 👨‍🌾 A farmer
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A family
• 🏡 A heritage sometimes passed down for generations

The destruction of a herd is not just an economic loss: it is the collapse of a citizen's work who feeds the population, a person whose vocation is to produce, protect, and pass on knowledge.

These radical measures leave families destitute, often traumatized, reinforcing the sense of neglect and abandonment expressed by many farmers today.

A Call for Democratic Dialogue

The Revolution Movement calls on citizens, farmers, and political leaders to engage in a national and transparent debate on:

• The future of agriculture
• Health and disease management
• Food sovereignty
• The impact of international trade agreements

This discussion must be conducted seriously, responsibly, and respectfully, to build a sustainable, humane, and protective agricultural model for future generations.

Essential Reforms

🚜 Supporting Our Farmers

Relieve them from all administrative burdens imposed by Brussels by leaving the EU, which has kept local small farmers underwater for too many years in favor of large agro-food groups. Farmers should cultivate the land and care for their animals—not drown in paperwork!

💰 A Guaranteed Minimum Income

Revolution wants to ensure that farmers can live dignified lives by implementing a guaranteed minimum income for all farmers. Producing what we need to live should be done in peace, ensuring high-quality food. It is unacceptable that those who feed us are driven to despair because they cannot make ends meet.

🇧🇪 National Preference

We must respect our farmers and prioritize national agricultural and food production. Healthy food should be encouraged through:

• ✅ Organic farming
• ✅ Permaculture

Protecting Our Future

For too many years, our leaders have undermined our sovereignty:

• Belgium depends on neighbors for energy, leaving it fragile and weak, and driving up electricity bills
• More and more farms are disappearing
• Agricultural land is being turned into building plots
• Bricks never produce wheat, milk, or meat

Belgium has always been a land of agriculture. Lack of real support for farmers endangers future generations.

Our Commitment

Defending our country and its values requires protecting, defending, and supporting our farmers—those who know what excellence means. Revolution will always stand by those who work hard every day to ensure our food sovereignty.
