Deutscher Bauernverband sees itself as a community of values and social force in rural areas. As the umbrella organisation of German agriculture and forestry, supported by its regional farmers' associations, it stands for "unity of diversity". Deutscher Bauernverband is the lawyer and voice of the German farming families.

Our agriculture in Germany is the industry of the future with a high social value.
To be a farmer means to exercise a fulfilling profession in independent decision and responsibility towards people, animals and nature - for the production of food and energy, in the commitment to family, property and rural community.

With this conviction, Deutscher Bauernverband represents farming families in politics and society - independently, voluntarily, credibly and reliably.
