Baden-Württemberg is faced with massive cuts in agricultural structure promotion

In a current press release, Minister Peter Hauk sharply criticized the federal frivoles in the joint task to improve the agricultural structure and coastal protection (GAK). For 2024, farmers in Baden-Württemberg have to expect a reduction in cash funds by 20.8 million euros and a decline in commitment authorizations by 28.1 million euros compared to the previous year. This could have a significant impact on agriculture and rural areas in the country.

Minister Hauk emphasized that the cuts have already led to profound cuts in different areas. Particularly worrying is the elimination of the special framework plan for rural development, which restricts the possibility of promoting sustainable development projects in rural areas. The cuts in the company and the advisory funding were also affected by the cuts, so that projects that have already been requested could no longer be approved and the funding rates had to be reduced.

One of the central problems is the impairment of the long -term goals for sustainable forest development and climate protection, since the funding for important projects such as Restorage and the Refusion Aid are severely restricted. Despite the efforts of the state government to compensate for the eliminating federal funds through state funds, a complete compensation of the losses of funds remains unrealistic.

The effects could not only be noticeable in agriculture at short notice, but also bring long -term consequences for ecological sustainability and structural stability in rural areas. Reduced financing could lead to a decrease in innovative projects and investments, which has a negative impact on the competitiveness of Baden-Württemberg agriculture.

In addition, agricultural businesses and forest economy companies could be severely restricted in their ability to react to climatic challenges. Politically wanted measures to adapt to climate change are already at risk, which could harm environmental and nature conservation.

Minister Hauk appealed to the federal government to create more stability and reliability in the financing of the GAK. This is the only way to ensure continuous and effective support for agriculture and rural areas. However, the long -term consequences of these cuts for rural infrastructure and ecological health are difficult to estimate and require an urgent political solution.

The discussion about the financing of agricultural structures and coastal protection will gain urgency in the coming months, since both farmers and decision -makers in politics will be required to find sustainable solutions in order to alleviate the negative effects of the reductions and maintain the goals of sustainable development.
