NIUS reported that Hannes Kuhnwald, a farmer and agricultural influencer from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, warned of a crisis in agriculture. According to him, never have so many businesses given up as currently, especially small farms. He cited rising energy costs, low margins, and producer prices, which have not increased inflation-adjusted in ten years, as reasons. Support programs without scaling according to farm size exacerbated the situation, said Kuhnwald. To preserve agriculture, small farms must be specifically protected, he demanded. https://t.co/qVy5QnfyfS #Landwirtschaft #Agrarpolitik #Kleinbetriebe (translated)
