Objectives
In Germ. social farming enterprises specializing in certain clientele predominate, often as part of sheltered workshops for disabled people + with the status of non-profit organizations. The integration of people into 'normal' farms is more common in other European countries. The challenge is to ensure that the 'inclusion' of people with special needs in agriculture, as required by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Disabled, becomes a synergy rather than a 'handicap' for the farm. Therefore, within this framework, a group of producers + scientists, has started to collaborate in order to investigate + support the potential of social farming for the development of agricultural enterprises in Hesse
Objectives
Im europäischen Ausland ist die Integration landwirtschaftsfremder Menschen in „normale“ Erzeugerbetriebe weit häufiger anzutreffen als in Deutschland. Es besteht die Herausforderung, die von der UN Behindertenrechtskonvention geforderte „Inklusion“ von Menschen mit besonderen Bedürfnissen in die Landwirtschaft so zu gestalten, dass deren Einbeziehung zur Synergie und nicht zur „Behinderung“ für den Landwirtschaftsbetrieb wird. Daher ist das Ziel, das Potenzial Sozialer Landwirtschaft für die Entwicklung landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe in Hessen zu untersuchen + unterstützen.
