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.

How do Grocery Stores Shelves Stay Full All the Time is a visual essay based on extensive research. In the form of an iterative website, the work explores the issue of vegetable shortages in the UK during the months of February and March this year and the UK government's response to the situation. The aim is to highlight a fragile system that is invisible to us in our everyday lives through the commonplace of full supermarket shelves. Despite the fact that it is only a century since people worked in the fields every day for their own livelihood, millions of lives have been lost because of the imperialist experiments of the world powers in food self-sufficiency. The essay then shifts its excursion from the current situation in the UK to the experiments in landscape intervention in the 20th century, beginning with the Great Depression in the US and Mao's Great Leap Forward. During the so-called longread, pop-ups pop up with historical references serving as brief points of interest on the topic, such as Marie Antoinette's artificial village or the idea of draining the Mediterranean Sea and creating a new state at its bottom to be populated and farmed.
