Progress and sustainability in agriculture and the food industry

With over 31,000 members, we are an innovation platform and leading network in the agricultural and food sector. With our specialised work, we provide significant impetus for progress. The foundation for this was laid in 1885 by the founder of the DLG, Max Eyth.

We understand progress and sustainability to mean productivity and resource conservation. We organise trade fairs and events worldwide. We test food, agricultural technology and equipment and offer practical knowledge through our specialised media. We work in Germany, Europe and globally. We promote science, research, education, consumer protection and international co-operation.
