On 30 August 2025, at the call of environmental groups including Greenpeace, BUND, NABU, and the Bergisches Nature Conservation Association (Bergischer Naturschutzverein), people protested in Remscheid (Nordrhein-Westfalen) against a planned industrial area on strawberry fields located in a protected landscape. Demonstrators denounced the project as irresponsible in the face of climate change and called for the reactivation of existing industrial brownfields instead of sealing fertile land.
