The article discusses the ongoing debate around egg and poultry production in the European Union, with a focus on the recommendations of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) aimed at reducing animal density and eliminating cage keeping. The implementation of these recommendations has led to a reduction in productivity and a significant increase in production costs, resulting in higher prices for consumers.
