Panel Discussion: "Pressure from the Right on Agricultural Associations - Panel Discussion on Right-Wing Influence on Organic Farming and Rural Agriculture".

Event as part of the "Heimat, Volk, Scholle - Rechts(d)ruck im ländlichen Raum" series

We would like to take a closer look at the problem of right-wing attitudes in rural and organic farming. We are inviting representatives from relevant associations. We would like to show how we are affected by right-wing influence and discuss approaches on how to react to right-wing members in the associations. In general, we would like to exchange ideas on how measures to promote democracy in rural areas can be developed with and by the associations
