2008 In 2008 a total of 34 organic farms with an active interest in nature protection were involved in the project. Their combined acreage was 8,054 ha, which represented 2.5% of organically farmed land in the Czech Republic. 2009 The network currently consists 37 organic farms across the whole Czech Republic (map in Fig.1), which represents approx. 10,750 ha of organically managed farm land. Our work with members of the network involves farm visits, individual advice, telephone and email contact and consultation. All actors/stake holders in the project receive the specially published “Organic Farmers for Nature” Bulletin. The farms were successively visited and given individual guidance. Field consultancywere aimed to increase the species diversity on the whole farm, both on agricultural land and non-productive land. In relation to this, data is gathered for the compilation of a farm plan (especially botanical research) and certain measures are proposed (e.g. planned planting). Consultancy is then linked to the possibilities of utilizing subsidies for the recommended measures. Abb.1 Organic Farmers for Nature Network in the Czech Republic in 2009.

Buildup of a community of Organic Farmers for Nature The project had, and still has, the aim of improving communication and awareness in the community of organic farmers with a approach to protect of nature and landscape. The project supported four basic prerequisites for a functioning community: • collective interest (protection of nature and landscape unites members of the community and limits them in comparison with others), • forming a relationship (the activities of the project supported interaction between individual members), • interaction (mutual exchange of organic farmers’ approach and practical experience), • attraction (the project supported informal meetings and collective experience). Some of the events held within the project: 2007 In 2007 we prepared an excursion to Norway and Sweden for farmers involved in the project. From 14 th – 23 rd September 2007 we visited 7 organic farms, familiarised ourselves with practical examples or nature protection and visited Bioforsk – the Research Institute for Organic Farming in Norway. The excursion was highly-rated by the participants and fulfilled both a specialist purpose – supplying new knowledge and inspiration in the field of organic farming, as well as helping to build the community. <strong>Bioinstitut</strong>, o.p.s.
