āCattle more essential than carsā
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
German farmers oppose environment minister Barbara Hendricksā Climate Action Plan 2050 because it suggests reducing the number of cattle, the use of fertiliser and tying EU subsidies to environmental performance, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports. Joachim Rukwied, president of the (DBV), said that the climate plan could reduce agricultural added value by 9 billion euros per year and endanger 200,000 jobs. Rukwied also opposes the notion of farmers producing less, and people eating less, meat. āCattle emits per se, cars emit per se. But cattle is more essential to life,ā he said.
