Intenzita zemědělské výroby v České republice v období vstupu do EU

Ph.D. thesis contributes to a deep knowledge about the development in farming of the agricultural companies from the agricultural land use intensity point of view. The Ph.D. thesis should also show which factors and connections determine or influence the forming of intensive and extensive agricultural farming in the Czech Republic in the period around the joining process of the Czech Republic to the EU. Achieved results show the reduction of the agricultural produce intensity level in the Czech Republic in the period 1989--2006, which results in reducing of the competitive ability of Czech agriculture in the international comparison. The followed analysis of the land use intensity level by the group of agricultural companies NUTS II Southwest shows a serious variability in the individual year and also in the average of the followed period, whereas the intercompany differentiation of the land use intensity happen. The higher level of land use intensity is absolutely shown in the higher efficiency of the faming results and is also linked to higher production productivity efficiency. The natural conditions and production aims are identified as factors which are not mostly influencing the level of intensity and its variability. The thesis allows us a look in the EU grant support of the corporations with the different level of land use intensity from added value and production productivity point of view. Ph.D. thesis is a part of the Research plan No. 4.
