Agricultural stakeholders in Austria and Germany are advocating for increased financial stability and policy reforms to ensure the viability of farming. In Austria, organizations such as the Chamber of Agriculture of Upper Austria and the Bauernbund have called for adjusted direct and compensatory payments within the EU’s 2028–2034 Multiannual Financial Framework to account for inflation and rising energy costs.

In Germany, protesters led by the Bavarian Farmers' Association (BBV) demonstrated during the Agricultural Ministers' Conference in Würzburg. Their demands include relief on diesel and energy costs, a €500 million federal subsidy for agricultural accident insurance, and a minimum of €500 billion in EU funding for the 2028–2034 Common Agricultural Policy (GAP) period to protect food security.
