Bio cash-cow? Context and content of Czech organic farming
Original language description
This work presents results of a qualitative empirical study on practices of farmers participating in the Czech system of organic agriculture (ecologic agriculture). Growth of this sector has been seen almost solely in positive terms, without questioningits content. However, Czech organic agriculture does not stem from the organic movement as is the case in Western Europe and therefore it is necessary to ask what it draws on and to discover, with regards to its nature, whether it can meet the expectations stated in official policies. This paper briefly describes the development of organic farming in other countries and the current problem of its conventionalization. The research study then shows evidence that organic farming is not adopted only becauseof state?s subsidies, and also due to the specific value orientation of farmers, despite the history and the lack of tradition of these specific practices in the Czech republic.
