Educational activity of farms in selected European countries

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the genesis and idea of the activity of educational farms, as well as their organisation and functioning in selected European countries (Poland, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, France). The desk research method was used in this study. Educational farms in different countries are connected by the area of their operation and the goals pursued. However, significant differences can be found in the official requirements for such entities, as well as in the ways and possibilities of cooperation between them within the organisations associating them, which results in significant heterogeneity of educational farms in individual countries. The presented research outcomes may be helpful in improving existing and creating new entities associating educational farms.
