Berlin (dpa) - Federal Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner has turned against blanket allegations in the face of protests for a radical agricultural turnaround.
"Polarize all-or-nothing demands," said the CDU politician on Saturday.
It goes without saying that the economy must permanently become more sustainable.
Research and modernization therefore played a major role in the farmers themselves, but also in German and European funding policy and legislation.
"Anyone who has maintained the same polarizing enemy images for years does not want to admit these changes," said Klöckner.
"That is a shame and does not do justice to the many farming families who have embraced major changes."

In Berlin, another alliance has called for a demonstration on Saturday under the motto “We're fed up” - the occasion is the Green Week agricultural fair, which will only take place with a digital conference program on Wednesday and Thursday due to the corona pandemic.
Farmers, climate activists and animal rights activists are calling for a change in agricultural policy.
For example, there is a demand to significantly reduce the number of animals in the stalls and meat consumption.
