"Farmers need a reliable income base. They should receive adequate remuneration for concrete, site-appropriate conservation measures such as pesticide-free cultivation methods, the planting and maintenance of hedges or keeping pastureland open. Likewise, mandatory labeling in the area of animal products would help: Consumers could then be sure that a higher price also finances more animal welfare and nature conservation."

"Nature conservation and sustainability:
In general, we Greens advocate a paradigm shift in agricultural policy. We demand that in an adjustment phase until 2027, public funds are only allocated if this results in positive benefits for society. To this end, subsidies must be linked to criteria relating to the aforementioned social benefits. We are focusing in particular on animal welfare, biodiversity, and climate and environmental protection. For example, we call for an upper limit on the number of farm animals per farm, i.e. a link between the number of animals kept on a farm and the amount of agricultural land available for feed use on the farm. We reject industrial animal husbandry that is not linked to land use. We want to prohibit torture breeding for all animal species, as well as the senseless killing of chicks, for which there are many proven sensible solutions. We demand legally binding regulations for every type of farm animal that ensure that animals live a dignified life.
Regionality:
Here we call for a strengthening of regional marketing and consumption structures. This includes the stronger inclusion of regional products in the communal catering of public institutions as well as the strengthening of marketing structures on markets, in supermarkets etc.. In addition, uniform labeling of regional products should ensure that it is also recognizable to consumers if the products are from the region.
Diversity and richness:
Species-rich cultural landscapes are critical to the stability of our ecosystems and the productivity of our agricultural systems. To achieve this, agricultural systems need to be more small-scale, diverse, characterized by tree strips, crop rotations with legumes, and pasture management. Agricultural deserts should be a thing of the past, as they destroy the ecosystem services of our nature. Stable systems are also essential with regard to the climate crisis, for example, to be better prepared for extreme weather events and invasive species/diseases.
Education:
The agricultural turnaround also requires a corresponding transformation of the education and extension system. Organic farming and other innovative systems must have a permanent place in agricultural schools. Comprehensive advice for farmers, for example on reducing the use of pesticides or fertilizers, should enable farmers to switch to more sustainable forms of farming. Practices taught largely in agricultural schools are outdated and need to be adapted to the needs of today."

"In the Group, we work on a division of labor. This means that we have members who are as specialized as possible for all topics. For capacity reasons alone, not every member can deal with every topic. So I'm afraid I have to apologize for not being able to go through your concept in detail.
I trust very much in the expertise of my colleagues and think that Mr. Häusling or another Green MEP who deals intensively with the issues can advise me very well here."

Response:
"Thanks for your email and also thanks for the great project! The mindmaps look full of promising ideas and suggestions.
Mr. Bloss is not actively involved in agriculture, so my suggestion would be that you contact his colleague (also Green MP from Baden-Württemberg) Ms. Deparnay-Grunenberg.
I wish you continued success - as Greens we will continue to work for more climate protection and biodiversity!"
