Krátke dodavateľské reťazce a komunitou podporované poľnohospodárstvo
Králová, Lucia
The thesis deals with the issue of short supply chains and community supported agriculture. These concepts are a form of alternative supply chains that are dedicated to the sale of quality, locally sourced food from primary production that also supports the local economy and local vendors. Both forms of distribution also support a sustainable food system and organic post-agriculture, with the added value of engaging people in a community-based way of life. The thesis evaluates the research questions by confirming or refuting the hypotheses, which aimed to find out the current situation in the Slovak and Czech Republic in relation to this concept. The thesis analyses successfully functioning distribution systems from ethical, economic, ecological point of view. A questionnaire survey was used to investigate the consumers' view of short retail chains, with the research question: "Do consumers prefer buying from short supply chains?", where hypothesis 1 was confirmed, which implies that consumers prefer buying from short supply chains for several reasons, but actually practice buying from long supply chains. In the practical part of the thesis, SWOT analyses of the two types of chains were carried out, identifying the strengths and weaknesses as well as the threats and opportunities of these chains, focusing in particular on the risks and limitations that are the reason for the so far low interest in the use of the financial sub-programmes of the rural development programme. In the SWOT analysis for community supported agro-farming, the research question was answered: "Does community supported agriculture have a favourable future for producers?" and, depending on it, confirmed hypothesis 1, which states that community-supported agriculture has a favorable future for producers.

Soukup Tůmová, Terézia ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Kandert, Josef (referee)
This diploma thesis is a descriptive case study of permaculture oriented families and individuals in the Czech Republic, who are aiming for food self-sufficiency. The goal is to describe the lifestyle of self-supplying food producers, their strive for permacultural principles of sustainable development and the making of agricultural systems. The main focus is on describing the economical and material background of households, their strategies and practices for achieving food self-sufficiency, and motivation and difficulties related to this matter.

Vertical farms
Kesanová, Michaela
We perceive more intensively that forms of our settlement as well as our livelihood methods are functionally incompatible with the limited natural resources of planet Earth. The concept of vertical farms offers new insights into the possibilities for effective use of architecture creating a source of food in itself. It brings together the technology of cultivation without soil in a controlled environment of architecture. The greatest importance is in maximizing the surface using a vertical plane in the design of vertical farm, of which we are able to gather the harvest. Typologically, the most important element in the entity of vertical farm is a component of hydroponic cultivation. In terms of content there are two basic categories of vertical farms. Depending on the degree of food distribution, vertical farms can be attached to existing typologies or freestanding. Examination of a sample of projects shows three types of vertical farms, depending on the concentration of the various types of production and ancillary functions. The aim of the paper is to explore the special type of public buildings – vertical farms; to find suitable reference examples from all over the world by exploring the current state of surveyed problems; to choose the studied samples and those subjected to the chosen scientific method of exploration - evaluation of selected properties of studied samples by applying boundary conditions; to formulate recommendations / guidelines for the architectural design of vertical farms according to the results of the research. Architecture loses its meaning without the existence of people, and therefore should be interested in issues of food security. Effective utilization of the natural environment begins by managing our own existence and the environment that we create.

Self-Sufficiency of Food in the European Union
Chum, Jan ; Musil, Martin (advisor) ; Bína, Vladislav (referee)
This thesis deals with the European Union's food self-sufficiency. The aim is to try to assess the impact of EU agricultural policies on food sovereignty of Member States and countries outside the EU. The work will evaluate the production of food self-sufficiency in the European Union and the EU for different types of production. The work will assess the impacts of agricultural policies on the Union's agricultural production and international trade. International trade can be used to ensure self-sufficiency, so it is also included in the work. The work will also focus on the restrictions under the WTO and trade between the EU and the rest of the world. In addition to assessing the impact of the policies the work will also deal with future developments.
