With our initiative, we therefore request that subsidies only
go to farms that
- preserve biodiversity
- produce without pesticides, (the initiative does not refer to
the auxiliary products or agents allowed and used in
organic agriculture)
- do not use antibiotics in livestock as a prophylactic
measure
- keeping only as much livestock as the farm can support
with own feed production
Moreover, the federation should only provide financial
support for agricultural research, consulting, training and
investments if the farming enterprises meet these new
requirements.
