Evaluation of permaculture gardening in the context of current knowledge applied in conventional and organic agriculture
Tkáčová, Anežka ; Soukup, Josef (advisor) ; Petrů, Martina (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to compare the conventional and the organic agricultural systems in various aspects. The emphasis is put on the economic, ecologic and social aspects. Subsequently the results are compared with the permaculture approach and its principles. The permaculture is a type of organic agriculture which is focused on the achievement of the sustainability in various human activities. In the end, the results are evaluated with regard to the usability and effectivity for aplication in the present conditions of the agriculture management. The permaculture is the most effective if applied in small scale units, like gardens or small farms. It is also beneficial for land and water management. It is not very suitable for systems with short-term changes because rather long time is neceséry for development of self-regulatory functions. However, some of its principles could be incorporated in a large scale agriculture as well, e.g. the protection of the biodiversity or usage of combination of crops with mutualistic interactions.

Bioproducts and their legal regulation
Holubová, Petra ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
Sowohl der europäische, als auch der tschechische Markt für Bioprodukte wächst, und mit ihm auch die Anzahl der Kennzeichen, Logos und Versprechen, die im Verbraucher den Eindruck von ökologischer Verträglichkeit oder Nachhaltigkeit erwecken sollen. Diese Arbeit hinterfragt den rechtlichen Rahmen der Bioprodukte und überprüft dementsprechend, welche Regelungen auf dem Gebiet schon bestehen, auf welche Gebiete diese sich beziehen und, ob diese Regelungen in der Praxis wirklich genügen. Gerade, weil auch der tschechische Verbraucher immer mehr Kaufentscheidungen von Kriterien der Nachhaltigkeit und seinem Umweltbewusstsein abhängig macht, ist das Thema rechtswissenschaftlich sehr relevant. Diese Arbeit analysiert die europäische Regelung, hauptsächlich die "Ökologische Landwirtschaftsverordnung", aber auch die nationale tschechische Regelung, das "Ökologische Landwirtschaftsgesetz", da die Gestaltung des Kontrollsystems der Produkte und andere organisatorische Regelungen den Mitgliedstaaten überlassen werden. Näher befasst sich die Arbeit hauptsächlich mit Problemen der ökologischen Landwirtschaft in der Tschechischen Republik und deren rechtlichen Hintergrund. Um zu überprüfen, wie weit der allgemeine rechtliche Rahmen der Bioprodukte den Erwartungen des immer umweltbewusster werdenden Verbrauchers...

Typltová, Jolana ; Jančák, Vít (advisor) ; Trantinová, Marie (referee)
The aim of this dissertation is to summarize the current ecological situation in the Czechia. A very important aspect of this alternative agriculture is its regional differentiation. Czechia has a lot of organic farms, the mian aim of this thesis is to map their location and determine the location is correct or not. NUTS 4 units will be used in mapping the distribution of ecological farms as they are the suitable units for making comparisons. The source of data on which this research is based is the Ministry of Agriculture and Control organization KEZ, o.p.s. The results of this research are displayed in the form of tables and pictures. Cartograms and cart-diagrams are used to display the geographical distribution of the organic subjects. The commentaries on the cartograms and cart-diagrams are the key part of this research. This dissertation also briefly looks comparison Czechia with other member states of the EU member states in organic farming and own research which aims to offer organic products in stores.

Perception of climate change impacts and adaptive capacity in organic agriculture
Říhová, Jana ; Vačkářová, Davina Elena (advisor) ; Pražan, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis deals with the perception of climate change issue and adaptive capacity of organic farming systems in the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis it to investigate organic farmers' attitudes toward climate change and their willingness to adopt adaptation practices. The method used in this thesis is based on questionnaires that were distributed among organic farmers in the period of January-March 2015; 52 questionnaires were subsequently analysed. The results indicate that the majority of organic farmers surveyed believed that the global climate change is occurring, expected negative climate change effects and observed higher frequency of extreme weather events. Most of the respondents also acknowledge the importance of adaptation practices and their own responsibility in adaptation. The statistical analysis revealed that both the belief about climate change and perception of associated threats may serve as predictors of the willingness to implement adaptation measures.
