Climate protection is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Farms themselves are heavily affected by climate change; At the same time, agriculture in Austria also assumes its role as an important player in climate protection.
The new HBLFA brochure summarizes how business management and climate protection are connected and what contributions farmers can make. Here, the relevant areas of action in the agricultural business are shown and broken down, which advantages or disadvantages certain changes in management for the climate and which advantages, but also challenges, arise from climate-friendly actions for the company .
A collection of links to informative practical articles complements the individual areas of the brochure for anyone who would like to find out more detailed information.
Here you will find the additional link collection for the brochure!
In the brochure we focus on the economically feasible and at the same time scientifically proven options for saving greenhouse gases. It is important to us to offer a neutral view of the topic that is removed from media sentiment and economic interests. At the same time, this brochure provides farmers with concise information in a practical form.
The brochure provides relevant information for agricultural practice in the following areas:
- Agriculture/field fodder
- Arable/grassland
- Grassland/ruminants
- feeding
- Manure management
- Energy and operations management
The brochure enables reflective action: every unit of greenhouse gases saved and not emitted makes a contribution to climate protection - the information provided here shows a number of options for saving emissions on farms in a condensed and easy-to-understand form.
Here you will find a presentation as an accompanying document to the brochure “Climate Protection in Agriculture” (Fritz et al., 2023).
