Abstract

In order to safeguard the participation of agriculture in the progressive development of the German economy and to grant to the German people the best possible supply of nutritious food, agriculture shall be enabled to compensate for its economic disadvantages due to its natural location and increase its productivity. This shall also improve the social situation of those employed in the agricultural sector and align them to other comparable activities. To this end the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture shall issue a report as far as agricultural enterprises are concerned, according to their size, type, systems and locations. Every four years starting from 2011 the afore-mentioned Ministry shall submit to Parliament a Report on the “Situation of Agriculture” indicating the expenses which have been taken or those which it intends to take. The text consists of 9 articles.
