Landwirtschaftsgesetz (LwG)

The Agricultural Law forms the central foundation of Swiss agricultural law and is at the heart of the development of agricultural policy. Its contents are widely varied, covering the framework conditions for production and marketing, dairy and livestock farming, crop production, viticulture, direct payments, social and structural improvement measures, research and consulting, as well as plant protection, production means, information systems, legal protection, and administrative measures. The present work is the first comprehensive treatment of this extensive body of law and consolidates the commentary on individual articles within their national and international legal and economic context into a comprehensive resource reflecting decades of agricultural legal regulation, culminating in its current complex and detailed formulation. It is an indispensable reference work for everyone involved in agriculture, as well as for authorities, courts, and academia.
