A digital crisis summit led by Federal Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner to address the critical situation of pig farming in Germany ended without reaching any new conclusions. The summit involved representatives from the retail trade, meat industry, animal husbandry, and state Agriculture Ministers. The lack of progress and the rejection of the proposal for an exit bonus for pigs have been criticized by Dr. Till Backhaus, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Minister of Agriculture. The press release from his office reflects these criticisms and expresses dissatisfaction with the summit's outcomes.
