On Wednesday, 29. November 2023, AKI elected its new Honorary Board Members at the 28th AKI Annual Meeting in a hybrid format. The Board is elected every four years.
Mr. Hans-Benno Wichert, farmer from Oberdischingen and Vice President of the State Farmers' Association in Baden-Württemberg e.V. (LBV), remained as Chairman of the Board and Mr. Siegfried Schwab, farmer from Roigheim, as Deputy Chairman of the Board. Both were unanimously re-elected to their positions.

(BWGV) and Mr. Jörg Sauter, former Managing Director of Schweinezuchtverband Baden-Württemberg e.V. (SZV) and now Executive Member of the Managing Board of Foundations of the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart.
We would like to thank all former and current Board members for their voluntary work. It is not least thanks to their support that AKI has been able to realize its goals as a non-profit organization since 1998, above all the traineeship programs for young professionals from its partner countries on farms in southern Germany, but also the implementation of international cooperation projects, all in order to contribute actively to the civil society in Germany and around the world.
