Scholz Praises Mittelmark Farmers' Efforts in Biodiversity Project

Former Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently visited an environmental conservation project in Werder an der Havel. The project, one of eight in Brandenburg funded by the state, aims to reconcile agriculture and biodiversity.

Scholz praised the initiatives, stating that farmers in the Mittelmark are taking responsibility for climate, water, and soil through their project management efforts. During his visit, he got close to a herd of water buffaloes and also learned about a grazing project with sheep in Plessow.

The project near Werder connects the preservation of wet areas with sustainable farming. It aims to balance agriculture and nature conservation, with Minister of Agriculture Hanka Mittelstaedt noting that funding cooperative measures enables inter-business environmental conservation. There are no specific agricultural company collaborations mentioned beyond those named in the available texts.

The project in Werder is part of a larger effort to reconcile agriculture and biodiversity in Brandenburg. Former Chancellor Scholz's visit highlighted the importance of these initiatives, with farmers taking responsibility for climate, water, and soil through their environmental conservation efforts.
