Forderungen an Politik: Bauern fordern mehr und schnellere Hilfen im Klimawandel
Trockenheit und Hitze setzen auch die landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe unter Druck. Der Bauernverband sieht auch die Politik gefordert und mahnt Tempo an.
Köln - The German Farmers' Association has called for more and faster aid from the government amid persistent droughts, heatwaves, and expected below-average harvests. General Secretary Stefanie Sabet said farmers needed a toolbox to adapt well to climate change, with challenges and burdens being multifaceted. The federal government must provide stronger support, she added, requesting greater flexibility from politicians.
Sabet advocated for innovations in plant breeding, strengthening landscape water management, and risk management to prevent operations from becoming overly strained by liquidity pressures. Many agreements in the coalition treaty remain puzzling, as the government appears "idle" in the current difficult situation. The association argues that a concrete aid would be needed, such as increasing EU funding for fertilizer supply using national resources, as seen in other EU countries.
