Excellent regional

Regionality in the fields and forests

More than 18,000 farmers and foresters supply the Carinthian population with food and firewood. But they are not short of ideas either.

Carinthia's farmers and foresters not only ensure warm parlors and full plates, but also regional diversity.

Every day, more than 18,000 agricultural and forestry businesses in Carinthia ensure that the population is supplied with the best local food. The farmers not only provide us with regional food, but also with their forestry products. They ensure that the country's living rooms are heated and thus also make an important contribution to the local economy.

Carinthian farmers and foresters are the symbol of regionality. They produce the highest quality and live sustainability.

"Our farmers and foresters are the symbol of regionality. They produce the highest quality and live sustainability. They guarantee the supply of high-quality food, the valuable raw material wood and they take care of our unique landscape," says Siegfried Huber, President of the Chamber of Agriculture. And they also fulfill an important educational mission. First and foremost are the seminar farmers, whose school workshops "My food - my future" were among the winners of the last "excellent regional" award. Together with the Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft Mittelkärnten and the "Biotop Blühendes Lavanttal", the women farmers were on the podium.
