Westdeutsche Agrar- und Ernährungspolitik zwischen wirtschaftlicher Rekonstruktion und Römischen Verträgen (1945–1957)

Abstract

The history of the West German agriculture between the end of war (1945) und the integration into the Common Market (1957) is in a contradictory mood. The development began of the hunger disaster 1945 and developed into an expensive overproduction. The German agricultural policy switched the points in a wrong way. Based on technical modernization the overproduction became finally an European problem. The German agricultural policy did not learn from the agricultural dilemma of the Weimar Republic.
