TY - JOUR A1 - Tobias, Kai A1 - Jessel, Beate T1 - Umweltauswirkungen durch die Landwirtschaft und Möglichkeiten ihrer Verringerung N2 - Impacts of agricultural land use on the environment are various and do not contribute to modifications of the ecology of central European landscapes. They do not only cause a progressive reduction of the number of plant ans animal specis typical for central Europe. Ever since the increasing intensification of farming, from the application of large amounts of fertilizers and pesticides to the use of increasingly larger machinery and progressive specialization there has also been an increase of other, hitherto little noticed environmental impacts. Heavy machinery and cultivation during disadvantageous weather will provoke soil compaction. Unvarying crop rotation systems and plouging of terrain too steep for it will increase water erosion. Due to groundwater lowering former peat lands are increasingly prone to desiccation and thus extremely susceptible to wind erosion. High rates of fertilizer application contiuously increase the risk of nitrate eluviation into the groundwater. These hazards are explained and measures of reduction are shown. The latter are indeed compatible with the aims of intensive farming but with less negative consequences for the environment. Above all they make sure that future generations will be able to continue farming the agricultural lands of central Europe that have been under cultivation for thousands of years.

Owing to the revision of the Building Code from January 1998 the impact regulation in land use planning is now established in the Building Law. This means the local governments have decision-making powers how to precisely implement the impact regulation. This, however, does not mean - as had been said in practice - that the concerns of nature and landscape can be "weighted out". On the contrary, the decision-making process has to include a detailed differentiation depending on the case, according to a verdict of the Supreme Administrative Court from 1997. The concerns of nature and landscape cannot be moved back as "not of furhter relevance". Only precisely described and insurmontable constraints allow cutbacks. Since compensation measures now can be carried out on the ground of adjacent local communities, a lack of sites available cannot be accepted as a reason. The paper makes clear why also in urban land use planning interference into nature has to be fully compensated for.

For this reason, calls are being made to take land that is converted from conventional to organic farming and add it to the pool of "compensation" areas, thus killing two birds - one of them being the establishment of more organic farming - with one stone. Various German regions have adopted the approach. Although organic farming serves both agricultural and environmental objectives, it cannot cover all the requirements of nature conservation. For example, it benefits abiotic resources such as soil and water through its use of natural fertilizers and erosion-combating cultivation, but can do little to protect highly endangered species and biotopes. Moreover, organic farms do not necessarily meet the legal requirement that compensation land must fulfil a similar function to the land it is "compensating" for. In other words, land converted to organic farming cannot necessarily ameliorate or compensate for impact on biotopes and species elsewhere. Regarding this approach as a solution to the rapid disappearance of farming land simply diverts attnetion away from the real cause: Urban sprawl and road building.
