Munich – 34 plus 2 – that is now the equation that applies to Bavaria’s eco-model regions. Agriculture Minister Michaela Kaniber has now awarded the regions of Coburg (city and county), Fürstenfeldbruck, and Munich-West the title of “State-Recognized Eco-Model Regions” and presented them with certificates of designation. “Implement your compelling concepts with energy and sound judgment. Then you, too, can become Bavarian model regions for organic farming,” said Kaniber.

Representatives from the two regions had applied last year and were able to convince the jury with the concepts they submitted. There are now a total of 36 state-recognized organic model regions across Bavaria. They consist of 1,021 municipalities and cover 43 percent of the state’s land area. The organic model regions are an important component of the state program “BioRegio 2030.” The program’s goal is to significantly advance organic farming in Bavaria. The Free State will fund the local alliances over the next two years through the Offices for Rural Development. The Free State covers 75 percent of the costs for each project manager, up to a maximum of 75,000 euros per year. The funding runs for two years and can be extended for an additional three years. The total funding volume for the eco-model regions amounts to over three million euros per year.
