Agriculture and forestry in Austria have not only been the backbone of healthy rural areas for centuries, but also one of the main pillars in the country's historical and cultural traditions. At the same time, agriculture and forestry are an indispensable part of Austria's overall economy as they provide comprehensive services in the interest of society.

It is precisely the amenability of Austria's system of land management that offers a number of opportunities: Austria has thus taken on an increasingly acknowledged pioneer role among EU Member States in the management of natural resources. This distinct image is borne in particular by the high environmental standards that apply in production, the high percentage of organic farms, modern animal transport regulations, and the beauties of the Alpine Republic's landscapes safeguarded by farmers. The work of men and women farmers is what warrants the intactness of rural areas, having positive effects on the environment and nature.
