Schwesig: Farmers are partners in climate protection

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) has defended the agricultural and food industry against criticism from environmental and climate protectors.

“Agriculture and environmental and climate protection are not a contradiction in terms,” said Schwesig on Thursday at the MeLa agricultural fair in Mühlengeez (Rostock district).

Farmers are there for their animals every day and should not be insulted as causing the climate crisis.

Schwesig: Farmers are partners in climate protection

The “ResponsibleSteel” standard is intended to help not only make steel production climate-neutral in the transformation process, but also to cope with the full range of social and ecological challenges at the locations.

The coking plant, which has been producing coke since 1928, claims to have significantly reduced dust emissions in recent years through a large number of environmental investments.

In addition to the reduced effects of coarse dust, the precipitation of fine dust, in particular, has been reduced far below the statutory level.

According to its own statements, the company has invested a total of more than 25 million euros in environmental protection at the Bottrop site in recent years.

Among other things, unused areas on the factory premises were redesigned to become Blühwiesen.
