Excitement at the green week: animal welfare or animal exhibition?

From January 17, 2025, Berlin becomes the center of agriculture and sustainability when the “Green Week” opens its goals. This traditional trade fair, which has existed since 1926, not only addresses current food trends and climate protection, but also brings a piece of nature into the urban environment. The organizers promise that visitors will get an insight into animal husbandry on site, but not everyone is enthusiastic about this idea. A video published on the social networks, which shows calves in the middle of the exhibition hall, caused outrage. A critical user expressed her displeasure with the animals, which are presented as "exhibits" in the middle of the crowds. Their concerns about animal welfare were taken up by the organizers who emphasized that the event should be a first contact with farm animals, such as sheep and cows, as [Berlin Live] (https://www.berlin-live.de/freizeit/erlebissen/gruene-woche-berlin-messe- ID348670.html) reported.

A central concern of the "Green Week" is the promotion of animal welfare and animal welfare. A special hall was reserved for the upcoming fair, in which the animal welfare label, similar to the well-known labels on meat packaging, can be experienced live. Exhibited sample stables will present the various forms of husbandry and offer visitors an insight into the reality of animal husbandry. In addition, the area of ​​animal welfare, which was introduced last year, is expanded in 2025 and is intended to show a more animal -friendly attitude by having the opportunity to withdraw into protected areas, according to the trade fair organizers.

The "Green Week" is not only a platform for agriculture, but also an important place for the discussion of sustainability issues and environmental awareness. According to Expo Stand Services, the event is flanked by innovative stand concepts and well-coordinated logistics to offer visitors an informative and entertaining experience. The fair attracts a variety of visitors every year and is an important diary highlight for everyone interested in agricultural and ecological topics.
