Abstract
Chapters 2 and 3 have analysed in detail the development of agricultural structures and policies in the former FRG from 1945 to 1990, and have examined the former FRG’s role in the development of the CAP. The aims of this chapter are twofold: to outline the development of agriculture in the former GDR from 1945 to 1990, and to analyse the restructuring of agriculture since reunification of the two Germanies in 1990. The first part of this chapter will focus on the former GDR and the contrasting path that agriculture took here to that in the West. This first section of the chapter is divided into two subsections: the first considers changes in landownership, land rights and farm structures, while the second focuses on the development of agricultural production.
