Abstract

The article presents recent documents and projects that are gradually creating a framework for the quality development of social agriculture. So far, this is most often mentioned in the Czech Republic in the context of comprehensive support for people with disabilities and social disadvantages.

Although the number of social farms in the Czech Republic is still in the top tens, the topic of social agriculture was included in at least three strategic documents in 2020 and is also the central theme of several international projects focused on education. The author states that these initiatives need to be further transformed into concrete measures and, among other things, to motivate students to put the acquired knowledge into practice so that social agriculture in the Czech Republic can continue to develop and the efforts made remain not just on paper.
