Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (Germany)
January 01, 1970
The Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (German: Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft, pronounced[ˈbʊndəsminɪsˌteːʁiʊmfyːɐ̯ɛɐ̯ˈnɛːʁʊŋʊntˈlantvɪʁtʃaft]ⓘ), abbreviated BMEL, is a cabinet-level ministry of the Federal Republic of Germany. Its primary headquarters are located in Bonn with a secondary office in Berlin. From 1949 to 2001 it was known as the Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forests (German: Bundesministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Forsten). Through an organizational order by the German Chancellor on 22 January 2001, it became the Federal Ministry for Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture after the Consumer protection function was transferred from the Federal Ministry for Health (Bundesministerium für Gesundheit). The name Federal Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection was adopted on 22 November 2005 simply to alphabetize its functional parts in the German language. Due to the political restructurings of the 18th German Bundestag in December 2013 the division "Consumer Protection" was transferred to the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection.
