A new deal for a greener management of biodiversity? The place of ecosystems protection in the European Green Deal
The biodiversity strategy for 2030, presented by the European Commission as part of the European Green Deal, strives to revert the current biodiversity loss facing the EU and restore degraded ecosystems. Unfortunately, it does not move away from a growth-oriented system, but if it is properly put into legislations and policies and implemented effectively, it could hold some of its promises.

Malta Farm Map
The “Malta Farm Map” aims to support local farmers sell their local fruits and vegetables by connecting farmers and customers directly in this time of crisis.
Farmers put a lot of work and passion into growing food, and we want citizens to get a glimpse of that. Right now people want to support local farmers but are finding it hard to purchase from them. Customers can now locate their nearest friendly farmer and buy their fresh local produce directly. In that way they will be promoting the local farming community which had already been struggling even before the current crisis.
