Agriculture

The ministerial tasks of the agricultural administration cover the whole spectrum from animal breeding and animal husbandry to the processing and marketing of animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, milk and honey. In addition to national legislation, the basis is formed by the regulations, quality standards and trade classes as well as specific promotional measures laid down in the European Union's uniform common market organisation. Legal requirements are also implemented for the plant products wine, sugar and fruit and vegetables.

The ministry is the country's supreme fishing authority. This means that 125,000 recreational fishermen in the country are also directly or indirectly involved with the agricultural administration or are affected by its regulations.

With the LEADER approach, which relies on broad local participation, rural regions are supported and developed in accordance with the requirements of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). In addition to job offers, social infrastructure and public facilities, an attractive social and cultural life is also part of this.

The implementation of land consolidation procedures are important tasks in the context of rural development. In addition to improving production and working conditions in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, the aim is to resolve land-use conflicts, cross-municipal village development, the implementation of water and nature conservation legislation, and the integration of large-scale infrastructure projects into the functional fabric of rural areas in a way that is compatible with ownership, social and environmental concerns. The agricultural administration is the supreme authority for land consolidation.

In addition to the implementation of the EU funding instruments in the field of Agri-environmental and climate measures and direct payments, which are adapted to the needs of the State of Brandenburg, environmentally sound land management also includes the updating of the technical legal basis for plant protection, seed traffic and fertiliser law and organic farming. The agricultural administration is also active here as a legislative authority.
