The year 2025 marks a significant milestone for the DLG (German Agricultural Society) as it solidifies its position as a leading international organiser and driving force behind agricultural innovation. With a record-breaking number of international participants, strong partnerships, and groundbreaking technologies, the DLG is paving the way for a sustainable and prosperous future for the global agricultural industry.
The DLG has been at the forefront of promoting and advancing modern agriculture for over 135 years. Its mission to connect farmers, industry experts, and policymakers has been the driving force behind its success. And now, in 2025, the DLG has taken its role to new heights, setting a new standard for international agricultural events.
One of the key highlights of the DLG’s success in 2025 is the record-breaking number of international participants at its flagship event, the DLG International Field Days. This year, the event saw a 20% increase in international visitors, with over 50 countries represented. This is a testament to the DLG’s global reach and its ability to bring together diverse perspectives and expertise from all corners of the world.
The DLG International Field Days, held every two years, is a platform for showcasing the latest innovations and technologies in the agricultural sector. This year’s event was no exception, with over 1,000 exhibitors presenting cutting-edge solutions for sustainable farming, precision agriculture, and digitalization. The event also featured a series of expert forums and workshops, providing a platform for knowledge exchange and networking among industry professionals.
But the DLG’s impact goes beyond just organizing events. In 2025, the society has strengthened its partnerships with key players in the agricultural industry, both nationally and internationally. These partnerships have enabled the DLG to expand its reach and influence, and together, they are driving the development of innovative solutions for the challenges facing the agricultural sector.
One such partnership is with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The DLG and FAO have joined forces to promote sustainable agriculture and food security, with a focus on developing countries. This collaboration has resulted in the implementation of various projects, including training programs for small-scale farmers and the introduction of sustainable farming practices in developing countries.
Another significant partnership for the DLG is with the European Commission. The DLG has been working closely with the Commission to develop and implement policies that support sustainable agriculture and rural development in Europe. This partnership has resulted in the launch of several initiatives, including the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI), which aims to promote innovation and knowledge exchange in the agricultural sector.
In addition to its partnerships, the DLG has also been actively involved in promoting and supporting groundbreaking technologies in agriculture. In 2025, the society launched the DLG Innovation Award, which recognizes outstanding innovations in the agricultural sector. This award not only highlights the importance of innovation in driving the industry forward but also provides a platform for innovative companies to showcase their solutions to a global audience.
One of the most exciting technologies that the DLG has been promoting is precision agriculture. This technology uses data and digital tools to optimize farming practices, resulting in increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved sustainability. The DLG has been at the forefront of promoting precision agriculture, organizing workshops and demonstrations to educate farmers and industry professionals on its benefits.
As we look towards the future, the DLG’s role as an international organiser and driving force behind agricultural innovation will continue to grow. With its strong partnerships, record international participation, and promotion of groundbreaking technologies, the DLG is leading the way towards a sustainable and prosperous future for the global agricultural industry.
In conclusion, the DLG’s achievements in 2025 are a testament to its commitment to promoting modern and sustainable agriculture. The society’s efforts in bringing together diverse perspectives, fostering partnerships, and promoting innovative technologies have set a new standard for international agricultural events. As we move forward, the DLG will continue to play a crucial role in driving the development of the agricultural sector, both in Germany and around the world.
