Prejudices, half-truths and misconceptions about agriculture
True or false?
Hardly anything provokes such an emotional discussion as agriculture. And everyone has an opinion on it. But is any of it based on reliable facts? Get to the bottom of the myths surrounding agriculture with us!

Whether it’s pesticides, genetic engineering or animal husbandry – there are many half-truths circulating about agriculture in Germany and they are often caught up with emotions. Are cattle really the biggest threat to our climate? Is regional agriculture always more sustainable? And is tofu actually just as harmful to the climate as meat? We are bringing experts from research and agricultural practice on stage to examine and contextualise common prejudices and assertions with a critical eye. Come along and find out what’s really going on behind the headlines!
