ForestFinance is a co-founder of the Forum of sustainable cocoa”, which is an improvement of the working conditions committed to. Germany processed over 10 percent of the global cocoa quantities. For decades, the cocoa production was increased mainly due to clearing additional forest areas. The deforestation of rainforests is guilt alone to about 20 percent for the anthropogenic CO2 emissions. On this former rainforest land, soil fertility decreased over the years, because rain forest soils have little humus and nutrients. In order, the quantities of fertilizers must be always further increased. Also diseases and pests in cocoa-growing monocultures often occur, be combated using pesticides.

In Agroforstmischsystemen, cocoa trees, however, grow together and in the shade of other trees of the tropics.

Angela Merkel discussed with the heads of the largest German power company this week German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with the heads of the four largest German energy companies E.ON, EnBW, RWE and Vattenfall, as well as some other representatives of the industry. The meeting was scheduled in terms of on the energy summit, which is to take place early February. Were discussed in particular the proposals of the EU Commissioner Gunther Oettinger (CDU), who advocates a harmonization of the promotion of renewable energies in the EU so that, for example, only still there more solar energy to be subsidized, where the number of hours of sunshine is also correspondingly high. The renewable energy industry representatives were not invited to the Summit, Merkel stressed, however, that no immediate cuts in the promotion of renewable energies would be imminent. Already in the run-up to the meeting loud criticism of the meeting was been on the part of the renewable industry. The President of the Federal Association of renewable energy (BEE) Dietmar Contactor turned in a letter even on Federal Environment Minister Rottgen, by urging them to face against the EU harmonisation plans for renewable energy. “In the letter, it is about: I would like to you on behalf of the renewable-energy industry urgently ask himself personally in the Federal Government, as well as on European level EU harmonisation of national support systems to speak out against and actively, however, to proceed.” “The reasoning that by harmonising total costs could be saved, not divides contactor: withstand the alleged cost benefits of impending harmonisation any scientific review.” To what extent Mr Rottgen will go down on the claim by Dietmar Schutz and ensures not only there to promote renewable energy, where they make the most profit, remains to be seen. Federal Environment Minister Norbert Rottgen has, meanwhile, also officially turned against the plans of Oettingers and is combative: if it were so, that with the Money of the Germans in South Italy and Spain markets are developed and we stick to it, to import our energy, then the entire transformation would be nonsensical, and she would lose the acceptance in Germany.” Now it remains to be seen what results you get at the EU energy summit, which early February will be held.

“First it was environment minister Norbert Rottgen, German Chancellor Angela Merkel then and now it is economy Minister Philipp Rosler it goes after him, to be funded from the summer of 2012 new solar systems”, says Stefan Steiner, Managing Director of global invest Marketing GmbH. This decision will Rosler fixed are, whether the power installed in Germany exceeds then 1,000 megawatts. Compared to the Rheinische post”, he accordingly said that electricity in the future must remain affordable. To you should start with the largest cost drivers. And that is especially the photovoltaic. Only in October Angela Merkel had been thinking out loud about new cuts in promoting solar and already in may environment minister Norbert Rottgen had caused excitement, when he announced to cut the feed-in tariff for solar power from March 2012. After massive protests on the part of the solar industry, the Government again rejected their plans. What remains is the problem, that is the solar industry more and more developed for the unloved child of the industry.

In economic terms, this shows a variety of studies, it is simply less economical than wind power in our latitudes. But with the increasing number of customers do, who want a stake in renewable energy fund? “From our point of view obviously a rhetorical question”, said Steiner from the global invest. “He adds: wind energy is the most important market of the future in the field of renewable energies and the global invest wind farm opportunity 1 can benefit investors several ways!” So invest wind park which offers global opportunity 1 an intelligent and unique among comparable investment offers safety concept as well as investments in the economic model country Poland.
