Brace yourself for the next superpower showdown across the Atlantic. This time the ideological clash is all about how we grow our food.
In the race to reduce the damage that agriculture is wreaking on the climate, the EU and the U.S. are veering toward a high-stakes standoff over how to transform the global food system, and their dueling visions could mean we all lose out.
The brewing Cold War between the two agricultural heavyweights over the future of farming risks undermining not only tens of billions of euros' worth of agricultural trade annually, but also threatens to undercut the more fundamental aspiration to reverse global warming through cooperation on food systems, which are responsible for more than a third of greenhouse gas emissions.
