The number of farms in the European Union has fallen by a third over the past twenty years, from 15 million to 10 million, according to a report by the European Parliament think tank on May 28, according to the Dutch portal Nieuwe Oogst.

Over the next twenty years, that number could drop further, to about four million. In particular, small farms less than 5 hectares in Central and Eastern Europe will disappear.

It is emphasized that in some EU countries most of the farms have no more than 5 hectares of land. Thus, 85% of the 3.6 million farms in Romania are small.

According to the forecast of the European Parliament, agricultural production in the EU countries will be concentrated on a smaller number of large farms. The researchers note that the general trend is the consolidation and intensification, as well as the loss of family and traditional farms.

Europe cannot avoid constant price hikes - Vice President of the European Commission

European Commission Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager said in an interview with Handelsblatt that Europeans will have to put up with permanent price increases.

“A significant part of European industry relies on ultra-cheap energy from Russia, super-cheap Chinese labor and highly subsidized semiconductors from Taiwan. Europe knew about these risks, but showed only greed,” says Vestager.

Logitech introduced the MX Master 3S mouse, which is an updated version of the popular MX Master 3 model. Visually, the MX Master 3S is very similar to the MX Master 3. A rather aggressive right-handed device design is complemented by a pair of scroll wheels (one for moving up / down, and the other - left / right). On the side surface there are three buttons, which can be interacted with using the thumb.

One of the main differences from the previous model is the presence of a sensor with a resolution of 8000 dpi (MX Master 3 uses a sensor with a resolution of 4000 dpi). According to the manufacturer, the left and right buttons of the new mouse are 90% quieter. When you press the mouse button, the tactile sensations are preserved, but the sound is more muffled. Despite having a higher resolution sensor, the mouse is intended for office work rather than gaming, mainly due to its comparatively low 125Hz polling rate.
