Fund the ecological transition of farming
The Greens want to make farming more climate- and nature-friendly while giving farms income and planning security. The plan includes less red tape, investment aid for livestock farming and a significant expansion of organic farming. In the party's view, the transition should not come at the farms' expense.
The Greens want farming that is gentle on nature and the climate. Farmers should get money and help for this. Applications should become simpler and digital. There should be more organic farms. Young organic farmers should get start-up help.
Funding applications are to be simplified, without repeat submissions and fully digital. Together with the federal government, aid is to be introduced for animal-friendly barns, outdoor runs and pasture grazing. Organic farming is to grow through stable funding, organic model regions, more weight in training and university programs, and more organic products in cafeterias, daycare centers, schools and hospitals; a start-up fund is planned for young organic farmers. The platform also calls for price-dampening rules against land speculation, less pesticide and fertilizer use, and updated fertilizer law to protect groundwater and drinking water. State-owned land is to serve as a model.
