A change in the field: How farmers in Schleswig-Holstein are breaking new ground

Through the Solawi, farmers can do business regardless of subsidies and world market prices

The basis of solidarity agriculture is an annual agreement between producers and consumers.It stipulates that the farm gives a certain part of the harvest to the community if in return the costs and the risk of production are divided among all participants.Almost 300.In 2018, 000 euros flowed to the Solawi farmers.

In this way, not only the individual foods, but the entire agriculture is financed.As a result, the individual farmers can work more independently of external constraints such as subsidies and world market prices.

"The Solawistas pay for another idea of agriculture," explains Dieter Pansegrau."We sit down for this and together decide which cultivation makes sense in terms of perspective."
