Vývoj zemědělství na Orlickoústecku s důrazem na vybraný zemědělský podnik

Bachelor`s thesis dwells on the origin of agriculture in the world and advancing expansion of agriculture into Europe and the Czech Lands. The goal of the thesis was to study professional literature on agriculture, its origin in connection with social situation in Orlickoústecko in the context of Pardubice Region and the Czech Republic. Next, the development of farming, technologies and employment in agriculture in Orlickoústecko are dealt with. Essential moments influencing the development of agriculture in the Czech Lands notably in the area of the Cooperative in Sloupnice are mentioned. The practical part is formed by initial information about the region and the district where ZD (Farm Cooperative) Sloupnice is located, and by elaborate description of the origin and functioning of the enterprise chosen. In the 1950s under the socialist regime small cooperatives were set up in every village, and most villagers were employed there. In the 1980s those cooperatives unified into one with the headquarters in Sloupnice, and since the 1990s the whole cooperative has been called ZD Sloupnice. The unified enterprises were described in the thesis from the historical point of view, and the cooperatives in question are: JZD Řetůvka, JZD Přívrat, JZD Němčice, JZD Vlčkov, JZD Řetová, JZD Sloupnice. The data obtained were analysed in the form of graphs, tables and organization diagrams. It follows from the data from annual reports, yearbooks and information provided by the management of the cooperative that despite harder work in submontane conditions, the yields are competitive with climatically better areas owing to constantly improving procedures and technologies. The history and affiliation of the subsidiary Řeznictví Sloupnice s.r.o. (The Butchery Sloupnice Ltd.), which follows up with livestock production of the cooperative perfectly, are described in the thesis
