Michaela Kaniber (née Brekalo; born 14 September 1977) is a German politician of the CSU party. She has been a member of the Bavarian State Parliament since 2013, and the Bavarian Minister for Food, Agriculture, and Forestry since 2018. Tourism was also added to her ministry in November 2023 as part of the Third Söder cabinet.[1][2]
Kaniber has a reputation as a "farmer whisperer." During the farmers' protests in late 2023 and early 2024, she was considered a mediator between agriculture and politics. She emphasised the importance of sustainability and regional value creation in agricultural policy.[3]
