EU approves landmark bill to restore at least 20% of Europe's land and seas by 2030

Farmers across Europe have been protesting with grievances against various issues, leading to road blockages in multiple countries including Brussels where EU institutions are located. Simultaneously, in Spain, farmers in Catalonia region gathered near the French border for protests. Separately, the European Parliament approved a law to restore 20% of EU land and sea by the end of this decade, with an ultimate goal of covering all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050. This legislation is a significant part of the European Union's Green Deal environmental goals. However, farmers express concerns that these rules may negatively impact their livelihoods.
