Linzgau Korn®
Linzgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Linzgau is a hilly landscape in the south of Baden-Württemberg. It bourdes to the south at the Lake Constance, east on the river Schussen, west on the town of Überlingen and reaches north up to Pfullendorf.
Pilots of Linzgau are part of the cereal-market community Linzgau Korn®. This regional partner-projekt includes 14 farmers, one miller and three bakeries/confectioner. Farmers grow cereal according to the standard of Qualitätszeichen Baden-Württemberg (QZ BW) or the organic farms according to Bioland- or Demeter guideline. Additionally, Linzgau Korn® defined further criteria which need to be met. These include:
- Planting of flower strips
- At least 10% of the utilized area needs to be managed extensively
Because of the diverse, small structured landscape, the agricultural plots are rather small and limited by seminatural habitats such as ditches or hedges.
