Densely populated Germany is the fifth biggest exporter of agricultural produce in the world! We use heavily subsidised produce to flood overseas markets.
2/3 of farms are livestock farms. They import vast amounts of soy and grain from e.g. Brazil accelerating deforestation.
~2/3 of Germany is used for farming. According to a study by the Boston Consulting Group a couple of years ago, agriculture adds 20 billion € to German GDP - with external costs in excess of 80 billions.
These costs are e.g. highly nitrogen contaminated groundwater. This contamination is one of the reasons that the EU, has started infringement proceedings against Germany.
The not sufficient allocation of land for conversation is another.
Last year, German farmers had a record year with doubled profits.
I don't know about France, but I expect a similar situation.
Everyone in Germany is drowning in red tape. In my industry, the compulsory documentation for a small business as mine is basically the same as for an international corporation. This hits every small business - not just farmers. They don't have a heavier burden then the rest of us.
However, their actions on 2/3 of our land are possibly damaging beyond the borders of this country. So their businesses need control and documentation.
I agree with everything npub1lcexytyrlm6zv3y0q5lhled5x2xtzd6dzscc9g5r5gfj5kfsje6qt9330w (npub1lce…330w) said as well.
