Description
In the new episode of our podcast, we talk once again about the ‘Save Bees and Farmers’ initiative. This time, we had the pleasure to welcome Veronika Feicht, who works as an agricultural policy campaigner for the German-based NGO “Umweltinstitut München”. We talk about the main goals of the initiative and how she assesses the current situation of wildlife, biodiversity, agriculture and farmers in the EU.   As Veronika Feicht was involved in organising the initiative, she also shares her experiences about the challenges of collecting signatures during a pandemic and strategies for pandemic-friendly campaigning. Lastly, we learn about how we all can contribute to the goal of saving our biodiversity and supporting farmers who are working to make our agriculture more sustainable.
