Year
2006
In the second half of 2006 we began building the network of nature-friendly farms and
10 enterprises were selected for the project. The first visits were made to the farms.
2007
In 2007 the network included 23 organic farms across the whole Czech Republic. In that
year six of these farms were chosen as model farms, on which scientific research was
begun and a farm plan for considerate management was drawn up. In selecting the
farms we used several indicators for business-wide analysis of performance in nature
protection, which were developed by our colleagues in FiBL (e.g. the proportion of
organic compensation areas; retention of small-scale structure; promotion of own
efficiency in nature protection in direct sale and/or PR work on the theme of nature
protection and farming etc.).
