Green Care/ Social Agriculture is the combination of agricultural production with social and educational work. It combines multifunctional agriculture and health services on a local level. Social offers on farms mean an additional income for the farms and additional employees, but also a contribution to the provision of services of general interest for people with disabilities in rural areas. The aim of the project is to show by means of best-practice examples how offers of this kind can function and establish themselves as a business branch. In the course of the project, these findings will optimize the content of an existing course and contribute to the development of quality criteria for a later certification of Green Care farms. The Operational Group is supported by the Chamber of Agriculture in Schleswig-Holstein as lead, Maschinenring Mittelholstein as service provider and twelve farms. The farms represent a variety of different farm types ranging from dairy farms and arable farms to pig and cattle fattening farms.
