The "CarbonTillage" innovation project (ZALF, LEMKEN, agrathaer) presented itself to a broad public
from January 19th to 27th, 2024 at the Green Week.
At the stand of the "Innovation Forum Agricultural Engineering", project staff explained the importance of fractional deep tillage for climate protection and soil fertility using a model of the new carbon farming plough. In addition to practitioners from the agricultural sector and representatives of authorities and associations, a surprisingly large number of elected representatives from federal and state politics came to find out about the status of our research work.
Among others, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Finance Minister Christian Lindner, Minister President Hendrik Wüst (NRW) and SPD Co-Chair Lars Klingbeil visited our model of the carbon farming plough. One of the topics discussed was the need to reward farmers for their contribution to climate protection, e.g. through CO2 certificates.
