This week, EURACTIV’s agrifood team walks you through everything you need to know from the most recent meeting of agriculture and fisheries ministers, from algae to fertilisers, and we discuss hints from the Commission that they may look to deregulate gene editing in efforts to appease critics of its pesticide reduction plans.

We also take a deep dive into avian influenza, exploring the impact this is having on the EU industry with the help of several ‘eggs’perts, including EFSA’s Francesca Baldinelli, Gerard Leveque from the European Poultry breeders, and Paul Henri from AVEC, the voice of Europe's poultry meat sector.
