W. whereas the Joint Research Centre points to the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity 2030 strategies as the cause of a loss of agricultural production of up to 15 %;	W. whereas the Joint Research Centre points to a loss of agricultural production of up to 15 % if the Green deal and Farm to Fork strategy were to be implemented without any mitigating factors; whereas such mitigating factors may be agricultural support, including eco-schemes and AECMs, that can increase productivity and mitigate climate-related losses, insurance and risk management, offered by the CAP; whereas losses of 5 to 10% yields have been standard due to normal fluctuations in weather, and whereas expected yield losses due to climate change predicted by the FAO are exceeding 30% if no adaptation measures are taken1a; whereas the JRC soil loss model predicts a productivity loss due to soil erosion alone of -0.43% per annum at current state of play 2a; whereas EU agricultural production is already experiencing climate change related losses and yield losses could reach -10-25% for key crops like maize and wheat even under low and moderate impact scenarios, even with CO2 fertilisation effects 1b; Whereas without climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts, agricultural economic losses in the EU and UK are expected to exceed EUR 65 billion per year 1c. Whereas the economic cost of drought for EU agriculture stood at around €4.8 billion annually in 2015 and might reach €28.6 billion by 2100 under pessimistic scenarios 1c.

Hemp cultivation can bring new economic opportunities and additional income to farmers, stimulate innovation in rural areas, and strengthen the resilience of European agriculture in line with the Commission’s Vision for Agriculture and Food. The European Parliament recommends establishing 0.5% THC as the maximum threshold for the registration of hemp varieties in the EU, thereby clearly distinguishing hemp from other cannabis varieties.

HNV farmland is low-intensity farmland that promotes or is associated with high biodiversity, in terms of species or habitats, and therefore plays a role in maintaining European biodiversity, the survival of many species and habitats on HNV farmland is often dependent on such extensive farming activity.

Paragraph 4 a (new)

Motion for a resolution	Amendment
	4a. Highlights the urgent need to address the distortions of competition and unbalances in the food supply chain and calls for mandatory environmental and social criteria within EU competition law; stresses the importance of halting and addressing consolidation and concentration in the grocery retail sector in order to ensure fair prices for farmers; urges the Commission to follow up on Directive (EU) 2019/633 on unfair trading practices and the EU code of conduct on responsible business and marketing practices by producing a monitoring framework for the food distribution, processing and retail sectors and providing for legal action if progress in integrating economic, environmental and social sustainability into corporate strategies is insufficient, and in so doing promoting and rewarding the efforts of sustainable agricultural producers while increasing the availability and affordability of healthy, sustainable food options and reducing the overall environmental footprint of the food system.
