Intraspecific trait variability of herbaceous plants in organic and conventional olive plantations in region at desertification risk
MIGLIORINO, Michele
This thesis is an ecological study in an agricultural context (agroecological research). It is carried out in olive plantations in south Italy, Apulia, a region at strong desertification risk. The effect of agricultural management (organic vs. conventional) is investigated on i) the herbaceous species composition ii) intraspecific trait variability of five selected herbaceous plants iii) soil conditions. Herbaceous plants are here considered as "indicators" of olive plantations' health. Studying if and how species traits and soil parameters vary with management, should reveal how olive understory grasslands are responding to increasing drought conditions and other desertification constraints. Management of grasslands and soils is critical to maintain high ecological functionality and services of olive agroecosystems.

Sustainable farming and organic production in Czechia
Langová, Monika ; Jančák, Vít (advisor) ; Hrabák, Jiří (referee)
The presented thesis deals with organic farming, organic food production and purchasing behavior at farmers' markets. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to contribute to the analysis of organic farming by comparing the supply and demand for organic food at the farmers' markets in Beroun and Brandýs nad Labem. The goal of the work is fulfilled with the help of a literature search and a questionnaire survey at the farmers' markets in the mentioned cities. 5 research questions were formulated for the questionnaire survey. These questions were evaluated based on the respondents' answers in the chapter on the conclusion of the research. Keywords Organic farming, organic food, sustainability, environment, farmers' markets, consumer behaviour

The influence of intensity of agricultural land use on pollinator diversity and abundance
Tomsová, Lucie ; Janovský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Černá, Kristýna (referee)
Agricultural intensification is one of the main reasons for the decline of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscape. One of the ecosystem services is pollination, which helps to preserve the biodiversity of wild plants in cultural landscape and is also vital for production of food, especially fruits and vegetables. Decreasing management intensity could be one of the potential solutions for maintaining sufficient level of pollination in the agricultural landscape. This can be achieved at least on parts of agricultural land. Also, certain areas of cultivated land can be excluded from production in exchange for subsidies for farmers who agree to implement this method. For this reason, the European Union has introduced organic farming and agri- environmental schemes. The aim of the study was to determine whether currently applied low-intensity management is sufficiently effective to protect wild plants, pollinators and their mutual relations. And if so, whether it is due to the decreased management intensity or due to the floral sources available. Another question dealt with is how the effects of organic farming depend on the landscape structure. Results of various studies dealing with this topic were qualitatively compared. Current studies show that organic farming has positive...

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.
