In many European countries, the Green Deal and its agricultural arm, the farm-to-fork strategy, have been in the sights of farmers for weeks. The main reason for the farmers’ discontent lies in the environmental protection requirements, which were originally developed to improve soil quality and biodiversity. Ultimately, the land sector is supposed to make a contribution to climate protection. For Valérie Hayer, who comes from an agricultural family, „the Green Deal must not be played off against agriculture„. This also applies to the next term of office.
