Jana Gäbert runs a dairy farm about 30 kilometres south of Berlin.

She is among farmers around Europe who have taken to the streets in protest about increasing costs and regulation amid high competition, loss of tax breaks and climate change.

Last month she rode in a farm tractor to Berlin's famous Brandenburg Gate to press home farmers' concerns.

Jana Gäbert is a member of the Global Farmer Network.
