Meat research: Miller for maintaining the Kulmbach site

Submitted by Thomas Pröller, meat-n-more on , Published in Archive

Agriculture Minister Josef Miller fears serious disadvantages for the Bavarian agriculture and meat industry as well as the Kulmbach region due to the planned restructuring of the Federal Research Institute for Nutrition and Food. He has therefore asked Federal Agriculture Minister Renate Künast to reconsider the planned downsizing at the Kulmbach branch - the former Federal Institute for Meat Research (BAFF).

In view of the great importance of animal husbandry and agriculture in Bavaria, the former federal institute has always been an important cooperation partner for the meat and agricultural industries, said Miller. With the integration of the BAFF into the Federal Research Institute for Nutrition and Food on January 1st, the Free State had already lost the only independent federal research institute in the field of agriculture. According to Miller, a reduced scientific commitment would also impair the efficiency of the numerous food industry and food technology companies located in the region. In addition, the planned downsizing would put an additional burden on the labor market in structurally weak Upper Franconia.
