Landschaftsseminare in der Sozialen Landwirtschaft -udNeue Impulse zur Kulturlandschaftsentwicklunguddurch Ökolandbau

摘要

Social farming adopts a multifunctional view of agriculture: the main products, inudaddition to saleable produce, are health and employment, education or therapy. Socialudfarming includes agricultural enterprises and market gardens integrating people withudphysical, mental or emotional disabilities; farms which offer openings for the sociallyuddisadvantaged, for young offenders or those with learning difficulties, people with druguddependencies, the long-term unemployed and active senior citizens; school andudkindergarten farms and many more. Prevention of illness, inclusion and a betterudquality of life are features and aims of social agriculture. Landscape seminars wereudcarried out on social farms in order to elaborate aspects for landscape developmentudand nature protection on farm level in a participatory way. Because of additionaludmanpower such farms offer special opportunities for landscape care through manyudhelping hands, but support and advice are needed. Landscape seminars appear to beuda method to strengthen intrinsic motivation of people involved to improve theirudlandscape and biotopes.
