The 15th meeting of the Monitoring Committee for the Baden-Wuerttemberg Rural Development Plan 2014-2020 (extended until 2022; MEPL III) took place in Stuttgart on 16 June 2023. The IfLS presented the results of a survey of beneficiaries who took advantage of funding for investments in small farms (IklB).
The aim of the measure is to preserve the cultural landscape by supporting the continued existence of small farms - particularly in areas that are difficult to farm - through investment subsidies. The positive effects of the measure identified in the survey, particularly on labour management, animal welfare and the environment, were received with interest by those present. The importance of the measure for small farms was emphasised by the Ministry
The results report on the survey of IklB beneficiaries and other evaluation results are available on the following website: https://foerderung.landwirtschaft-bw.de/pb/,Lde/Startseite/Agrarpolitik/Begleitstudien [in German]
