# Healthy production systems are key to sustainable biomass supply - Joint Research Centre

> A JRC report warns that EU agricultural ecosystems are declining, with only 24% in good condition. It notes that over 60% of agricultural biomass, including grains and cereals, is used for feed.

## Why it matters

Declining ecosystem health and calls for stricter biomass governance could eventually constrain EU feed grain output, supporting firmer feed grain prices over the long run, though the effect is not immediate.
