In view of climate change, agriculture in Germany is facing a double transformation. On the one hand, it is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, accounting for around eight percent of the total, and must significantly reduce its emissions of climate-damaging CO2, methane and nitrous oxide. On the other hand, it is already confronted with changing climate conditions and their consequences in many regions. In addition to the decline in biodiversity, it is above all weather extremes such as heavy rain, heat and drought that are causing problems for farmers and necessitating adjustments.
