The motto of the BMUV's 8th Agricultural Congress was ‘Natural climate protection and climate adaptation in partnership with agriculture’. This year, the congress provided a large forum for discussing challenges and solutions for sustainable and future-proof agriculture in times of climate crisis.
Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke, Federal Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir and the Vice Minister for the Environment of the Czech Republic, Jiří Lehejček, took part in the congress. They focussed on the needs of farmers. Climate change is making their work increasingly difficult, which is why it is necessary to initiate changes together.
In addition to the conferences, in which lectures and speeches were held, there was a co-working area, which this year included a small Paludi exhibition. Organically produced building materials and filling materials from Paludi cultures (plants that grow in rewetted moors) were exhibited in large, planted shelves that served as spatial separation.
facts and fiction accompanied the event from the very first idea. In addition to participant management, this also included the design of the stage. This reflected the pressing issue of natural climate adaptation in agriculture with motifs from modern agriculture and green forms.
