Cute animals, wide fields and 24/7 country air: The work of #farmers sounds idyllic, but is influenced in many places by politics, for example EU regulations (Federal Environment Agency 2024). Fiona (19) is a farmer in training and Klaas (22) is a farmer on the family farm - they are both incredibly passionate about their work and give everything for the legacy of their previous generations who built up the farms. At the same time, they have fears and worries - but also courage and visions for the future. We accompany them in the stable and in the fields - driving #tractors and petting calves included. Is the work of young farmers still worthwhile under the conditions created by the #EU? How hard is the job really? What do EU regulations mean for the food that ends up on our plates? And what do they mean for nature? And: What does the EU actually have to do with German laws? Our special guests “the lawyers” will answer the last question – you may know them from the TikTok channel @die.juristen. ???? Do you know our community tab?
