history

While the Ministry's main task after the Second World War was to provide the population with food and was therefore named as the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, environmental protection was increasingly added in the 1970s . In 1984, as part of the first red-green coalition, the environment and energy sector was outsourced to a newly created environment ministry under Joschka Fischer . In 1999 the two ministries were merged again. The ministry now covers the tasks of environmental protection, consumer protection and agriculture. In 2009 the energy sector, which was previously subordinate to the Ministry of Economic Affairs , was added to the Ministry of the Environment.
