20/03/2019 -Top Agrar, a leading monthly journal for farmers in Germany, invited several experts and the German minister for Food and Agriculture, Ms Julia Klöckner, to a seminar "Agriculture in Climate Stress - can insurances limit the risks and where should the state intervene?"
The past summer with extreme drought hit the agricultural industry hard and caused damages which could partially not have been managed without the financial support of the central and regional government. During the seminar, experts from agricultural policy, insurance industry and scientists, among them Christoph Gornott from RD2, discussed with minister Klöckner possibilities to reduce risks for farmers and the role of insurances in mitigating these risks.
