Structural Dimensions of Farm Crisis in the Federal Republic of Germany

Chapter 8 in The International Farm Crisis, 1989, pp 183-204 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Farm crisis has taken different forms in the Federal Republic of Germany since the Second World War. Whatever the nature of the crisis, small, economically marginal farms have been of central importance. Small farms were to play a central role in overcoming food shortages in the years immediately following the war. Later, high rates of decline in the number of small farms were interpreted as a family farm crisis by the German Farmers Union (Deutscher Bauernverband, DBV). The stated policy objective of the DBV was to preserve the greatest number of farms possible.
