Until when will Germany continue to import soybeans from Brazil?

The article highlights the[/INST] dilemma of sustainable farming and the impact of Brazilian soy on the rainforest. It follows the example of Wilhelm Eckei, Germany's first organic farmer, who opposed the conventional farming's reliance on Brazilian soy, contributing to deforestation. Eckei's approach involves local production of animal feed, moving away from soy, and is supported by supermarket chains like Aldi and Lidl. In contrast, conventional farming continues to use cheap South American soy, leading to environmental concerns and reliance on foreign feed. António Hofreiter, a German Green Party politician, advocates for the EU to regulate supply chains to exclude human rights violations and deforestation, and to reduce dependence on imported feed by promoting European fodder alternatives. The article criticizes the continuation of industrial livestock practices that destroy rainforests in countries like Brazil, calling for stricter regulations and a shift towards sustainable farming practices.
