Animal welfare is at the heart of the discussion regarding  farming’s future in Germany. Federal elections are coming up in September 2017 and animal welfare will be a key agricultural topic. The German government recently published a livestock production strategy to ease public pressure. Higher animal welfare standards on a national level would limit the competitiveness of German farmers and reduce import demand for soybeans.
