Recommendation paper on the "Chancenprogramm Höfe"
30 million euros are available in the German federal budget for the new “Farm Opportunities Programme”. It is intended to support agricultural businesses in switching from animal farming to the production and processing of innovative proteins and climate-friendly food.
But what specific policy measures are to be implemented and what incentives should be created for farms? Together with the Förderkreis Biozyklisch-Veganer Anbau e.V. and the organisation TransFARMation Deutschland, we published a recommendation paper on 6 March 2024.
In it, we propose, among other things, creating model regions where relevant stakeholders can network and establish new value chains for plant-based foods. We also outline various nationwide measures that can make the transition easier for interested businesses – for example in the form of investment subsidies and advisory and training programmes.
