The thesis also found out about the information needs of farmers, types of information resources and services available to farmers, their knowledge of information resources and services, level of satisfaction on information available to them as well as the incidence of gender inequality in information transfer. Research was conducted in East Akim district in the Eastern region of Ghana. A categorical binary logistic model in SPSS was used to determine the significance and impact of farmers income, size of farm, education level and gender on adequate information access. Farmers income was the only variable that had a real major positive impact on accessing adequate information, therefore contributing to the probability that the richer the farmer the easier to access adequate information. Size of farm and education level of farmers did not have a real impact on accessing adequate information. Male farmers had a 0.173 times chance more than female farmers in accessing adequate information but do not reflect much on their income.

Lídlová, Barbora ; Havlík, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Anna, Anna (referee)
The school lunch provides an important opportunity for learning healthy habits, and well-balanced school meals have been linked to improved concentration in class, better educational outcomes and fewer sick days. School lunches are diverse across Europe. Many countries in Europe have policies to help schools provide nutritionally balanced meals which also reflect the general eating culture of each nation. The most advanced systems of school meals include those in Finland and Sweden, where all school meals are fully funded by the government. In 2014 first children between the ages of five and seven received a free school lunch in The United Kingdom. In England, school meals have increased their level due to the fact that renowned chef Jamie Oliver noticed how poor quality school meals had. The Jamie Oliver Food Foundation was founded in 2002 and run three core food education programmes in schools. Recently, a very interesting topic is organic food in school meals, and less use of convenient food. Italy has become a pioneer in Europe to use organic and local products in school meals. 40 % of their served food has an organic origin. Across France are all vending machines banned from school since 2005. Countries which do not have compulsory system of school catering services are e.g. Norway, Netherlands and Belgium. Czech school meals are one of the best in Europe. And not just in terms of a comprehensive system of school lunches, but also by the availability of full hot school lunches of high quality for all children. School canteens in Czech Republic based their nutrient ration on recommended daily nutrients intake, which provide daily need of essential nutrients and vitamins. These daily intakes are part of Decree 107 of 2005. In these days, in Czech Republic is discussed question of the ban on vending machines. And in February 2015, it has been decreed to ban the sale of unhealthy snacks and beverages in Czech schools approved by the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic.
