Involvement of farmers in local partnerships: study of local action groups structure in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The contribution aims to evaluate the importance and role of farmers in 78 local action groups (LAGs) in the Czech Republic. The LAGs have gradually established themselves as important players in the EU&apos;s rural development. Therefore, it is a question of how active the farmers are in these local partnerships. Farmers represent one group of actors (non-profit organizations, municipalities, schools, non-agricultural entrepreneurs), which create the LAG. The research is based on the analysis of the created database of LAG partners (3,960 entities) (1) and the database of supported projects in LAGs in the period 2007-2013 (2). The database of LAG partners contains information on: sector of the partners, role in the LAG or localization. The database of projects supported by the LAG contains information about the applicant, the aim of the project, the focus and priority of the support. The results show that 61-70% of the partners of all LAGs are members of a private sector (including agriculture). Behind representatives of municipalities, farmers are the second most frequently represented group, as they accounted for between 12 to 23% of LAG partners. However, decision-making powers are most often held by representatives of the public sector. Supported projects (2007-2013) of LAG partners were most often implemented by the private non-profit sector (45%). Farmers, together with other entrepreneurs who were partners of the LAG, were also significantly supported (40% of projects).
