The Horticulture, Agriculture and Forestry Union (German: Gewerkschaft Gartenbau, Land- und Forstwirtschaft, GGLF) was a West German trade union representing agricultural and forestry workers.
The union was founded in July 1949, and was a founding member of the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) in October of that same year.[1] In 1995 the GGLF claimed 90,281 members and in 1996 the union merged with the Building and Construction Union to form IG Bauen-Agrar-Umwelt (IG BAU).[2]
