Agriculture struggles with growing climate risks

In view of the growing climate risks for german farmers, grunen boss robert habeck calls for agriculture to be adapted more strongly to climate change.

Water shortages and hot temperatures are an increasingly pressing problem for farmers, "and no one can turn a blind eye to it," habeck told the deutsche presse agency. "The extreme becomes the rule. And that changes the basic assumptions on which farming has been done so far."In order to master the situation, it is high time to tackle the adaptation of agriculture to the climate crisis – both in the cultivation of plants and in animal husbandry.

For example, mixed instead of monocultures, more diverse crop rotations with plants that are resistant to heat and drought, more trees on agricultural land, different sowing and harvesting dates and more organic farming are needed, habeck said. Livestock numbers had to be reduced so that a farm only had as many animals as it could basically feed with the yield from its land. "The goal is fewer animals, but more space and good care," he said. In the summer of 2018, the feed supply for the animals was insufficient and there were emergency slaughters.

The day before, at the presentation of the harvest balance sheet, farmers’ association president joachim rukwied had drawn attention to the higher risks farmers face due to climate change. They relied on soil-conserving practices and resistant species and breeds. But he also called for government help in setting up "multi-peril insurance" to protect farmers.

The climate policy spokesman for the left in the bundestag, lorenz gosta beutin, had then demanded that the state should not leave farmers "sitting on their hands dry" any longer. In addition to emergency state aid for climate damage, climate insurance had to be subsidized. The majority of farmers could not afford the expensive insurances so far. In return, agriculture must invest even more in climate protection.

Gero hocker, the agricultural policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, had called for "decisive action" – such as the "consistent demand for digital technologies" and a tax-free risk compensation levy, which the farmers’ association has long been calling for. In addition, the approval of modern pesticides had to be accelerated and modern genetic engineering methods had to be advanced.

Haus der kunst: director okwui enwezor resigns from office

The artistic director of the haus der kunst in munich, okwui enwezor, has resigned for health reasons. The 54-year-old’s contract was due to expire on 1 january. June, the ministry of art announced in munich on monday. A successor will now be sought quickly.

The tasks of the artistic director will initially be taken over by the chief curator ulrich wilmes, alongside the commercial director bernhard spies, who has been in office since april.

Enwezor, a native of nigeria, had been at the helm of the renowned museum, which does not have a collection of its own and has its exhibitions on loan, since 2011. In 2002, he directed documenta 11 in kassel, and in 2015 he directed 56. Venice biennial. "There is never an ideal time for a farewell, but i am stepping down at a time when the haus der kunst has reached an artistic position of strength," said the 54-year-old.

Bavaria’s arts minister marion kiechle (CSU), who also chairs the supervisory board, thanked enwezor. Thanks to its outstanding exhibition programs, the house had considerably strengthened its international reputation. "Through his curatorial expertise, the institution has gained worldwide recognition."

The haus der kunst has turbulent times behind it. In the summer of 2017, massive money problems became known. Employees’ close ties to scientology and cases of sexual harassment also made headlines. The supervisory board reacted with notices and put enwezor in the fall a commercial manager at the side. First it was the financial expert stefan gros, followed in april by spies, who formerly headed the kunsthalle bonn.

Rough tasks await top management. From 2020, the building erected by the nazis in 1937 is to be renovated according to plans by the british star architect david chipperfield. The state of bavaria, the most important financial backer, plans to pay up to 150 million euros for the project.
