Germany鈥檚 state governments not to use fallow land and special eco areas for regular food production and instead preserve them for biodiversity and climate action. Large farm operations have to set aside five percent of their land as so-called 鈥渆cological focus areas.鈥� Whatever grows on these areas may normally not be used. It can be ploughed under for soil improvement. Farmers and several state agriculture ministers had called for using these areas to bolster grain production as Russia鈥檚 war against Ukraine threatens global supply and high prices this year. However, the Bundesrat (council of state governments) has reached a compromise, according to which crops or grass that grow on this land can be used as fodder. 鈥淒roughts bring hunger,鈥� said agriculture minister Cem 脰zdemir. 鈥淎nd ploughing up fallow land, some of which has been set aside for years, releases additional CO2 鈥� thus fuelling another driver of hunger,鈥� climate change, he added.

In view of the war in Ukraine, the threat of crop failures and the supply shortages of grains looming in many parts of the world, to cultivate fallow land, which is set aside to boost biodiversity and protect the climate.
