Abstract

At the end of 2019, the Federal Ministry of Food and Agri­culture (BMEL) presented a discussion paper on the Arable Farming Strategy. The Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI) was intensively involved in the preparatory work and sup­ported the BMEL in developing the arable farming stra­tegy. It describes six guidelines that define the framework for sustainable arable farming. In a total of 12 fields of action, challenges and conflicting objec­tives are named and corresponding objectives and measures are identified. Some of the contents of the arable farming strategy are presented below. It is also shown how departmental research – and the JKI in particular – is already actively supporting the implementation of the arable farming strategy today as well as in the future.
