We are passionate about exceptional topics in the fields of agriculture and agribusiness, food, logistics, and other exciting projects in related areas – for products that provide our readers with first-class information for training, work, or leisure, and that they are always happy to pick up for reference. As a specialist publisher, we are committed to the didactically intelligent transfer of knowledge, as a partner to our authors and as a service provider to our customers.

For us, publishing means above all working creatively as a team, with authors, photographers, editors, designers, booksellers and, of course, users. All of them are ultimately united by a passion for intelligent content and good layout.

Erling Verlag emerged from the publishing house Agrimedia, which in turn has its origins in Alfred Strothe Verlag (“Ernährungsdienst”), founded as early as 1945. With numerous publications, such as technical, textbook and non-fiction titles, wall charts, brochures or trade and customer magazines, we have firmly established ourselves in the market as a successful address in recent years.
