Germany's farmers are vital suppliers of numerous raw materials for the food and animal feeds sector and hence a significant branch of industry. At the same time the agricultural sector is the largest land user and unlike other industries most production takes place in an "open system". This poses a risk to the environment since only part of the substances used especially fertilisers and pesticides are utilised degraded and retained in soils and plants. A significant portion enters our waterbodies and neighbouring ecosystems where it can cause major ecological damage. |
