DLG. Progress and sustainability in agriculture and the food sector
With over 31,000 members, we are a platform for innovation and a leading network within agriculture, agribusiness and the food sector. Our expert work provides essential stimuli for progress. The basis for this was established back in 1885 by DLG’s founder, Max Eyth.
We are committed to achieving reliable yields, high performance and top quality through entrepreneurial and responsible behaviour on farms, in barns, on fields and throughout the entire food production chain. We focus on the protection of soil, water, air and biodiversity and on good conditions in animal production. We provide stimuli for technical, biological and organisational developments and work towards their implementation in practice.
Productivity and the protection of resources are what we mean when we talk about progress and sustainability. We organise trade fairs and events worldwide. We test food, agricultural machinery and farm inputs and offer practical knowledge via our specialist media. We operate in Germany, Europe and around the globe. As part of this, we foster science, research, education, consumer protection and international cooperation.
