Challenges and opportunities for rural areas: positive half -time record of the cabinet committee of rural areas

The Minister of Nutrition, Rural Affairs and Consumer Protection, Peter Hauk, draws a positive half -time balance of the Cabinet Committee of Rural Areas. This committee develops future -oriented goals and specific recommendations for the further development of rural areas.

Minister Hauk emphasized at an event in Sigmaringen that rural areas through livable cities and municipalities, small and medium -sized companies, an active club life and an attractive cultural landscape offers many location advantages. At the same time, however, it is also confronted with challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers and securing the future of the existence infrastructure. The rural cabinet committee works closely with all departments and regional actors in order to strengthen rural areas, to further develop it precisely and maintain the high quality of life.

As part of the event, the work of the cabinet committee has been balanced over the past two and a half years and given a outlook on topics that were still available. Selected projects in the areas of education, health, culture and economy were presented in rural areas. In addition, the participants received more information about ongoing activities from the numerous project providers in a “market of possibilities”.

Minister Hauk emphasized that the interministerial approach and the linking of cross -sectional topics in the cabinet committee create great added value for rural areas. A pioneering lighthouse project is the concept for the resilience of rural areas. The aim is to create spaces that are able to cope with drastic structural changes without breaks and to develop strategies for the future. The concept takes current challenges such as demographic and economic development, climate change, health, energy supply and mobility.

Minister Hauk emphasized that a lot had already been achieved, but there was still a lot to do. In close cooperation with the citizens as well as partners from administration, business and society, sustainable solutions are to be developed that are based on the actual needs of the local people and give the actors a perspective.

The Rural Cabinet Committee is an important instrument of the state government to process cross -departmental and complex questions. His goal is to promote equivalent living conditions, infrastructures and working conditions throughout the country. The cabinet committee develops measures and concepts, awards model projects and initiates working groups to process individual topics. It consists of all specialist ministries and was again set up by the state government in 2021 in order to develop future -oriented goals and recommendations for action for the further development of rural areas.

The work of the cabinet committee of rural areas has the potential to have long -term positive effects on rural areas. The strengthening of the infrastructure, the expansion of educational and health facilities, the promotion of jobs and the creation of attractive framework conditions will improve the quality of life in rural regions. This can help to slow down the migration to the cities and to maintain rural areas as liveable and economically attractive location.

Especially in times of shortage of skilled workers and demographic change, it is important to make rural areas future -proof and to offer the people living there perspectives and opportunities. Due to the interminister cooperation and the close integration of regional actors, solutions that are tailored to the needs of the people on site are developed.

The positive half -time balance of the cabinet committee of rural areas underlines the importance of this body for the future development of rural areas. It remains to be hoped that the concepts and measures developed will be successfully implemented and thus a sustainable strengthening of rural regions will be achieved.
