What impact does agriculture have on soil, water, air, the climate, and biological diversity? You can find answers to this question in the key facts and figures presented in the brochure “Environment and Agriculture”, published in our series “Data on the Environment”. Graphs, maps and tables illustrate existing interrelationships and provide a basis for the debate about greater environmental protection in agriculture.
The report “Data on the Environment” is published every four years. It takes stock of the development of the state of the environment in Germany, highlights environmental improvements and shows where action is still needed.
The answers to how clear the air is or how polluted lakes and rivers can be found on the brand new updated Environmental Data website Diagrams and tables, links and relevant legislation or literature lend the website its electronic encyclopaedia character.
The brochure presents important and topical facts from the Federal Environment Agency’s core environmental indicator system. 44 environmental indicators – theme-based “signposts in the jungle” of environmental data – provide information about the state of the environment in Germany.
