Strengthen consumer protection and inspections
The Greens want to implement animal husbandry labeling, step up inspections of livestock farming, food and products, and secure funding for consumer advice centers. The platform cites unclear labels, too few inspections and a lack of transparency as the reasons.
The Greens want to protect consumers better. Food labels should show how the animals were kept. Authorities should check farms and food more closely. Consumer advice centers should get enough money.
The plan calls for more targeted, problem-focused inspections in livestock farming, food production and product oversight. To protect groundwater and drinking water, local pesticide use is to be disclosed, and contamination from pesticides and pharmaceuticals is to be monitored thoroughly. Consumer advice centers are to receive adequate funding. In addition, a mobile advice unit modeled on one in Brandenburg is to be funded so that people in rural areas can also get advice.
