Philippines bans entry of poultry products from Poland By TED CORDERO, GMA News
Published December 23, 2020 3:46pm Philippine authorities have temporarily banned the entry of domestic and wild birds and their products from Poland due to an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N8 in the European country. In its Memorandum Order 78, Series of 2020, signed by Agriculture Secretary William Dar on December 21, the Department of Agriculture (DA) ordered the temporary banning of importation of domestic and wild birds and their products such as poultry meat, day old chicks, eggs, and semen. DA s memo cited Poland’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s report to the World Organization for Animal Health on December 3 that there was an outbreak of H5N8 which started on December 1 in Nakory, Suchozebry, Sidlecki (1426), Mazowieckie affecting birds as confirmed by its National Veterinary Research Institute.
How can we increase collective action between farmers across Europe?

It might sound like a cliché, but when it comes to agriculture, it’s amazing what cooperation and collective action can do.
This is the basic idea behind the BOND project, funded by the European Commission and carried out with the help of FAO. BOND, which stands for Bringing Organizations & Network Development to higher levels in the farming sector in Europe, aims to boost social capital in agriculture – or, put simply, the ability of farmers to work together towards common goals. This may sound obvious, but in many places, cooperation among farmers is not in the traditions or necessarily even in the culture of the country. In fact, in some places, cooperation among farmers can be considered innovative.
