Abstract

Abstract Social agriculture is a fast-growing sector in Europe. There is a great diversity in the social agriculture landscape across Europe, depending on the national contexts. The settings in which social agriculture takes place, namely social farms, are innovative because they combine health care and social services with agricultural production. Different participant groups find their place on these social farms. Social agriculture can be beneficial for participants, providers, the environment and the wider society. In this paper, we give an overview of the social agriculture market situation in a selected number of European countries, namely the Netherlands, Flanders (Belgium), Italy, Austria and Ireland. The country focus is largely dictated by the composition of, and the resources available to the project team undertaking this study. To explain how social agriculture is organised in the different European countries reviewed, three main frameworks are used: a multifunctional agriculture, public health and a social inclusion framework. In each of the countries under review, specific regulations, funding mechanisms, cultural values and support organisations provide different contexts for the evolution of social agriculture. A Market Outlook for social agriculture in these selected countries is undertaken which addresses the demand for and supply of such services, the profile of providers and beneficiaries, the key issues relating to funding, policy, certification/quality standards and future trends impacting on the sector. To make the European social agricultural sector more sustainable, it is important to broaden the activities and target groups, raise awareness, increase visibility via communication and tailor and secure funding for the future.

部分欧盟国家的社会农业:市场展望
社会农业在欧洲是一个快速发展的部门。整个欧洲的社会农业格局存在着巨大的多样性,这取决于各国的背景。社会农业发生的环境,即社会农场,具有创新性,因为它们将保健和社会服务与农业生产结合起来。不同的参与者群体在这些社会农场中找到了自己的位置。社会农业可以对参与者、提供者、环境和更广泛的社会有益。在本文中,我们概述了一些欧洲国家的社会农业市场状况,即荷兰、佛兰德斯(比利时)、意大利、奥地利和爱尔兰。国家重点在很大程度上取决于进行这项研究的项目小组的组成和现有资源。为了解释所审查的不同欧洲国家如何组织社会农业,使用了三个主要框架:多功能农业、公共卫生和社会包容框架。在接受审查的每个国家,具体的法规、资助机制、文化价值观和支持组织为社会农业的发展提供了不同的背景。对这些选定国家的社会农业进行了市场展望,其中涉及对这种服务的需求和供应、提供者和受益者的概况、与资金、政策、认证/质量标准和影响该部门的未来趋势有关的关键问题。为了使欧洲社会农业部门更具可持续性,重要的是要扩大活动和目标群体,提高认识,通过沟通提高知名度,并为未来量身定制和确保资金。
