Voluntary
A registered association that grew out of the “Land schafft Verbindung” farmer protest movement started in October 2019. It is the national federation of the regional LsV associations and aims to improve dialogue between farmers, politicians and the public and the situation of farmers. Its main topics are cutting red tape, origin labelling, producer prices, equal standards for imports and regulation of the wolf population. It organises national demonstrations and events.
Voluntary. Under the statutes only the regional LsV associations (or, where none exists, the regional organising team) can be full members. Farmers and other persons or organisations can join as supporting members without voting rights; the general meeting decides on admission. As a farmer it makes sense to join the LsV association of your federal state.
The membership fee is set by the general meeting and its amount is not published; it is due by 31 January. As a supporting member you choose the amount of your contribution (collected yearly).
