Sustainable strategies
Agriculture, sustainability and nutrition: how Germany supports innovative strategies for global development around the world.
Urbanization: For vibrant cities
Proximity to the workplace, a good transport infrastructure, and the wide variety of cultural and recreational offerings draw a great many people to cities in Germany, too. Architects and urban planners alike develop ideas and innovative concepts for high-quality and sustainable urban growth.
Agriculture: For sustainable harvests
Around three quarters of all the world’s starving and poor people live in rural areas. With its local partners Germany specifically works to develop agriculture, so that more food is produced and people need not go hungry.

Sustainability: For far-sighted politics
Germany is committed to globally sustainable development that reduces poverty and strengthens human rights. Together with its partners in the EU and United Nations, the German government is busy devising future-proof strategies for society and the environment – nationally and internationally.

Nutrition: For The right to food
Access to food is a human right. Germany supports its partner countries in improving food security for their populations. This requires advice and often extensive reforms – in the economy, in trade, in government leadership.
