TEXTE Entwicklungsperspektiven der ökologischen Landwirtschaft in Deutschland Kurzbeschreibung: Entwicklungsperspektiven der ökologischen Landwirtschaft in Deutschland Die Landwirtschaft steht vor zwei großen Herausforderungen: Einerseits muss eine weiter wachsende Weltbevölkerung mit einer ausreichenden Menge Nahrungsmittel versorgt werden – die Landwirtschaft muss also produktiver werden. Andererseits ist die moderne, intensivierte Landwirtschaft einer der wichtigsten Triebkräfte negativer Umweltveränderungen – die Landwirtschaft muss also ökologischer produzieren. Die Frage, wie die aus diesen beiden Aufgaben resultierenden Zielkonflikte gelöst werden können, ist die zentrale Herausforderung für die Gestaltung nachhaltiger Agrar- und Ernährungssysteme – in Deutschland und weltweit. Es ist offensichtlich, dass in der Praxis der konventionellen Landwirtschaft ein Umdenken stattfinden muss, damit die gravierenden Umweltprobleme der Nahrungsmittelproduktion eingedämmt werden können. Doch auch die ökologische Landwirtschaft muss sich weiterentwickeln, damit ihr Potential für mehr Umwelt-, Natur-, Tier- und Klimaschutz voll ausgeschöpft werden kann. In diesem Gutachten werden die Merkmale der ökologischen Landwirtschaft sowie ihre wesentlichen Unterschiede zur konventionellen Landwirtschaft dargestellt. Basierend auf der Analyse der gefundenen Stärken und Schwächen werden Innovationspotentiale in der ökologischen Landwirtschaft erläutert und Entwicklungsszenarien der Landwirtschaft entworfen und analysiert (Öko-Kontinuität, Öko 4.0, Integrierte Produktion+). Die Modellierung dieser Szenarien zeigt anschaulich, dass eine hohe globale Ökoeffizienz (Betrachtung der Umweltperformance per kg Lebensmittel) nicht in jedem Fall mit einer hohen lokalen Umweltperformance (Betrachtung je Hektar) Hand in Hand geht. Insgesamt zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass mit der Einführung von ökologisch sinnvollen aber produktionsorientierten Innovationen und Praktiken die negativen Umweltauswirkungen der Landwirtschaft sowohl in ökologischen als auch in konventionellen Produktionssystemen verringert werden können. Mit dem Konzept Öko 4.0 schlägt diese Studie einen ergebnis- und wirkungsorientierten Ökolandbau vor: Dieser ersetzt die starke Ausrichtung auf Verbote und macht den Ökolandbau offener für die Nutzung des wissenschaftlich-technischen Fortschrittes (case-by-case Überprüfung von neuen wie auch alten Techniken). Gleichzeitig werden die in den Öko-Richtlinien gegenwärtig noch fehlenden Mindestanforderungen vor allem in den Bereichen Natur- und Bodenschutz verbindlich gemacht und nicht länger nur in Leitbildern formuliert. Die klar definierte und an Vorschriften gebundene Integrierte Produktion (IP+) verbessert die Umweltperformance – im Vergleich zur derzeitigen konventionellen Produktion – deutlich. Auch dieses Konzept sollte daher vorangetrieben werden. Der Ökolandbau leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag für mehr Umweltschutz in der Landwirtschaft, hat aber in vielen Bereichen noch großes Verbesserungspotential. Das Nachhaltigkeitsprofil des Ökolandbaus kann durch ambitionierte Forschungs-, Beratungs- und Fördertätigkeit noch deutlich geschärft werden. Sowohl der ökologische Landbau als auch integrierte Landnutzungssysteme sollten deshalb zukünftig im Rahmen der GAP weiter finanziell gefördert werden. Abstract: Development perspectives of organic agriculture in Germany Today’s agriculture faces two major challenges: On the one hand, agriculture must become more productive to provide enough nutritious and high-quality food for a growing population. On the other hand, modern, intensified agriculture is one of the major drivers of negative environmental impacts and must therefore become more ecological. To overcome this conflict of objectives, an environmentally sound and sustainable transformation of the agricultural system in Germany, as well as globally, is needed. Opportunities across both conventional and organic practices are identified as contributing to this effort. This report presents the characteristics of organic agriculture and its main differences from conventional agriculture. Based on an analysis of strengths and weaknesses, potential innovations in organic farming were identified, and scenarios for future agricultural systems were designed and analyzed (Organic Continuity, 6 TEXTE Entwicklungsperspektiven der ökologischen Landwirtschaft in Deutschland Organic 4.0, Integrated Production+). The modelling of these scenarios clearly shows that a high global eco-efficiency (consideration of environmental performance per kg of food produced) does not always go hand in hand with a high local environmental performance (consideration per hectare). Overall, results show that conventional and organic production systems can reduce the environmental impact of agriculture by introducing ecologically-sound and production- oriented innovations and practices. With the concept Organic 4.0, this study proposes a result- and impact-oriented organic agriculture: This replaces the strong focus on prohibitions and makes organic agriculture more open to the use of scientific and technical progress, with case- by-case examination of both new and old technologies. At the same time, currently missing minimum requirements in the organic regulations, which are relevant for nature and soil conservation, are made binding and would no longer be formulated only in guiding principles. Integrated production (IP+), which is clearly defined and linked to regulations, significantly improves environmental performance, when compared with current conventional production. Therefore, its uptake should be further facilitated. Organic farming makes an important contribution to more environmental protection in agriculture. However, there is still great potential for improvement in many areas. The sustainability performance of organic farming can be further strengthened by ambitious research, consulting and funding activities. Both organic farming and integrated land use systems should therefore continue to receive financial support under the CAP in future. 7 TEXTE Entwicklungsperspektiven der ökologischen Landwirtschaft in Deutschland Inhaltsverzeichnis Abbildungsverzeichnis ........................................................................................................................... 11 Tabellenverzeichnis ............................................................................................................................... 11 Abkürzungsverzeichnis .......................................................................................................................... 13 Zusammenfassung ................................................................................................................................. 15 Summary ............................................................................................................................................... 22 1 Kontext und Arbeitsziele ............................................................................................................... 28 2 Wesentliche Unterschiede zwischen der ökologischen und konventionellen Landwirtschaft in Deutschland ................................................................................................................................... 33 2.1 Grundsätze und Grundlagen der konventionellen Landwirtschaft in Deutschland ............. 33 2.2 Entstehung und Entwicklung der konventionellen Landwirtschaft ...................................... 35 2.3 Die ökologische Landwirtschaft ............................................................................................ 37 2.3.1 Entstehung und Entwicklung der ökologischen Landwirtschaft ....................................... 37 2.3.2 Die Grundprinzipien und der rechtliche Rahmen der ökologischen Landwirtschaft ........ 38 2.4 Wesentliche Unterschiede zwischen der ökologischen und konventionellen Landwirtschaft ...................................................................................................................... 44 2.4.1 Generelle Unterschiede .................................................................................................... 44 2.4.2 Standortgegebenheiten .................................................................................................... 48 3 Vergleich zwischen der ökologischen und konventionellen Landwirtschaft hinsichtlich ihrer direkten

    Frischobst und Okkultismus als Heilswege: Konversionen im alternativkulturellen Milieu Leipzigs um 19001 Bernadett Bigalke Summary Fresh Fruit and Occultism as Ways to Salvation: Conversions in Leipzig’s Alternative Culture at Around 1900 During the time of the Wilhelmine Empire, there were multiple interdependencies between adherents of the life reform movement (vegetarians, naturopathists, nudists, etc.) and new religious movements such as esoteric groups like the theosophists in the alternative cultural milieu around 1900. These networks became visible in the form of double memberships in associations. However, there were also ambiguous affiliations, migration between groups and syncretistic2 beliefs without institutional belonging3. The similarity between patterns of argumentation for this specific lifestyle and the congruence of chosen goals, ways and goods of salvation become particularly clear in this context. These forms of “methodical lifestyle” may lead to the development of a specific ethos or habitus (Max Weber).4 To illustrate these processes, this article analyses the report of a Leipzig lady who ate raw fruits and vegetables only, and examines her broader social context. Thereby the analysis will employ sociological theories of conversion to explain the case of Hedwig Bresch. Überlegungen zum alternativkulturellen Milieu in Deutschland um 1900 Sichtet man die Sekundärliteratur zum Thema Lebensreform und Esoterik, zeigt sich deutlich, dass Kommunikationsnetze und Querverbindungen zwi- schen den verschiedenen Reformbewegungen im Kaiserreich bestanden haben.5 Dem Faktum der wechselseitigen Vernetzung wird in der Literatur zwar Rechnung getragen, jedoch geht dies über Einzelerwähnungen oft nicht hinaus.6 So seien Buddhisten, Theosophen und Mazdaznan- 1 Überarbeitung eines Vortrags, gehalten auf dem 27.

  • Christianity and Global Law
    Christianity and Global Law This book explores both historical and contemporary Christian sources and dimensions of global law and includes critical perspectives from various religious and philosophical traditions. Two dozen leading scholars discuss the constituent principles of this new global legal order historically, comparatively, and currently. The first part uses a historical- biographical approach to study a few of the major Christian architects of global law and transnational legal theory, from St. Paul to Jacques Maritain. The second part distills the deep Christian sources and dimensions of the main principles of global law, historically and today, separating out the distinct Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian contributions as appropriate. Finally, the authors address a number of pressing global issues and challenges, where a Christian-informed legal perspective can and should have deep purchase and influence. The work makes no claim that Christianity is the only historical shaper of global law, nor that it should monopolize the theory and practice of global law today. But the book does insist that Christianity, as one of the world’s great religions, has deep norms and practices, ideas and institutions, prophets and procedures that can be of benefit as the world struggles to find global legal resources to confront humanity’s greatest challenges. The volume will be an essential resource for academics and researchers working in the areas of law and religion, transnational law, legal philosophy, and legal history. Rafael Domingo is the Spruill Family Professor of Law and Religion at Emory University, USA, and Alvaro d’Ors Professor of Law at the University of Navarra, Spain.

  • Dietetics, Health Reform and Social Order: Vegetarianism As a Moral Physiology
    Medical History, 1999, 43: 323-341 Dietetics, Health Reform and Social Order: Vegetarianism as a Moral Physiology. The Example of Maximilian Bircher-Benner (1867-1939) ELISABETH MEYER-RENSCHHAUSEN and ALBERT WIRZ* Having virtually disappeared from the canons of medicine during the early modern period, dietetics returned in the early nineteenth century as part of a new nutritional physiology tied to scientific "animal production" and, generally, to a new, market-oriented agriculture. This medical advocacy of meat-eating ran up against a counter-movement of a simultaneously developing "alternative" dietetics, as we might call it today, which advocated "natural" vegetarian eating habits as a new path to health. When, around the turn of the century, the Swiss nutritionist and physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner emerged as a charismatic leader of a new, gentle healing and life-style movement on the strength of his raw-food diet therapies, he did so against the background of a natural- healing and life-reform movement that was at that time already some seventy years old. It was an era when industrially-processed flour, sugar, and spirits, as well as the increasing consumption of meat, were beginning to characterize modern society's eating habits. Industrialization, by creating the technical possibilities for moving previously unheard-of quantities of wheat from large-scale farming areas to huge cities, for the first time gave rise to bread-baking on an industrial scale around 1820. For that purpose, flour had to be made capable of being stored. This was achieved by milling off the vitamin and protein-rich germ and aleuron layer, with the consequence that the resulting white bread was much less nutritious than the old corn porridges and coarse-grain breads had been.1 The increasing cheapness of spirits was the result of new distilling processes which took hold after about 1830, and it brought on a new "alcohol plague".

  • Vegetarianism
    Vegetarianism Flesh eating is unprovoked murder. (Ben Franklin) A man of spiritual intensity does not eat corpses. (George Bernard Shaw) Behold I have given you herb yielding seed. To you it shall be for meat. (Bible, Genesis l:29) -1- The whole creation is the temple of God. There is no place where He is not. In minerals life is sleeping; in plants life is dreaming; in birds and animals life is awakening; and in man life is awake. As such we are brothers of all creatures, of plants, of birds and animals. So the flowers and trees, sparrows and doves are as members of our own order. How simple, pure, loving and beautiful they are! We should love all. We should live in fellowship with all creatures, with all life. One must not interfere with the life of any animal in God's creation. (Sant Kirpal Singh, Portrait of Perfection , 143) Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. (Dostoyevsky) All creatures are God’s children, and those dearest to God are those who treat his children kindly. (Mohammed) -2- Pity is always one and the same feeling that you have, be it for an animal, for a man or for a tree. (Leo Tolstoy) When man feels compassion towards all living beings, then he will be noble. (Buddha) I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs killed.

  • Vegetarismus Im Christentum

Mai 2000 Korrigierte und leicht überarbeitete Fassung: August 2000 Vorwort Hat die Katholische Kirche mit dem Vegetarismus eine gemeinsame Tradition? Ja und nein. Der Begriff ,Vegetarismus’, steht für die Ernährungslehre, die den ausschliesslichen oder überwiegenden Genuss von pflanzlichen Nahrungsmitteln anstrebt. Er wurde erst im 19. Jahrhundert gebildet und entstammt aufklärerischen Kreisen ausserhalb der Kirche. Und auch heute scheint in den wenigen katholischen Dokumenten, die das Thema Fleischverzicht ansprechen, das Wort ‘Vegetarismus’ gemieden zu werden. In der christlichen Tradition sind aber seit Beginn immer wieder Bestrebungen auszumachen, sich fleischlos zu ernähren. Es ist dabei unter anderem an die christlichen Asketen, Ordensregeln und Fastengebote zu denken. Wo aber früher die Ernährung innerhalb der religiösen Praxis einen wichtigen Stellenwert einnahm, spielt sie heute eine randständige Rolle. Zu Unrecht, wie ich meine. * * * Für die Aufarbeitung des Manuskripts von Prinz Max und seiner Auseinandersetzung mit dem Vegetarismus war mir der Kontakt mit Iso Baumer von unschätzbarem Wert. Von ihm stammt das dreibändige Werk „Prinz Max von Sachsen“, ohne das ich gar nicht auf die Schriften von Prinz Max gestossen wäre. Iso Baumer hat mir auch den Zugang zum Manuskript „Versuch einer Theologie des Vegetarianismus“ ermöglicht und mich mit der Schenkung von zahlreichen Büchern zu den Themen Ökologie, Theologie und Vegetarismus kräftig für meine Arbeit motiviert.
