The Deutscher Bauernverband) (DBV - German Farmers' Association) is the largest agricultural and forestry professional association in the Federal Republic of Germany. It is the umbrella organization of the 18 regional farmers' associations.[2] More than 90% of all German agricultural operations (about 270.000, 380.000 farmers) are members of DBV on a voluntary basis.[3][4][5][6] Besides its headquarters in Berlin, the DBV also runs an office in Brussels.The DBV is the major German interest group, lobbying and professional association of farmers in Germany.[7][8] The German Farmers' Association (DBV) represents conventional and ecological farmers. However, the political focus is on conventional agriculture. Organic farmers are organized in the Bund Ökologische Lebensmittelwirtschaft (BÖLW).
