What contribution can riparian strips make to the good status of surface water bodies? Does the new agricultural funding period provide the right framework conditions to make this possible?

The riparian strip is an interface and buffer zone between water and land, an important part of the biotope network, and a habitat and refuge for living organisms. It is also of particular importance in agriculture, where it also serves to protect water bodies from excessive nutrient and pesticide inputs.

Speakers from the Saxon State Ministry for Energy, Climate Protection, Environment and Agriculture, NABU Saxony, the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, the City of Leipzig and Osterland Agrar GmbH will share their perspectives on opportunities for water protection through riparian strips and water maintenance measures.
