BMEL

The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) in Germany is dedicated to ensuring a sustainable and secure food supply while promoting agricultural interests. The ministry oversees various sectors, including nutrition, consumer protection, organic farming, and rural development. With a commitment to healthy eating, BMEL provides resources on food labeling and waste reduction, encouraging consumers to adopt sustainable consumption practices.

In the realm of agriculture, BMEL emphasizes ecological farming, biodiversity, and climate protection, actively supporting initiatives like the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. The ministry also addresses vital issues surrounding animal welfare, food safety, and hygiene through regulatory frameworks and educational campaigns.

BMEL engages with the community through innovative projects, such as the "Too good for the bin!" initiative, which tackles food waste, and organizes events like the German Forest Days to raise awareness about forestry and conservation. By fostering dialogue and collaboration, BMEL aims to create equal living conditions in rural areas and ensures diverse opportunities for sustainable growth in the agricultural sector.
