COMPLEMENTING THE ACTIVITIES OF PROCESSING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS ON THE ORGANIC FARM BREGAR

Področje dela, ki ga želimo raziskovati, so priložnosti za dopolnitev dejavnosti predelave kmetijskih pridelkov na ekološki kmetiji Bregar. Natančneje želimo prikazati prestrukturiranje integriranega kmetijstva v ekološko, problematiko dopolnilnih dejavnosti na področju predelave ekoloških pridelkov, spregovoriti splošno o zakonodaji in nadzornem sistemu na področju ekoloških kmetij. Predelava je med najšibkejšimi členi v slovenskem ekološkem kmetijskem sektorju. Na trgu primanjkuje domačih (slovenskih) ekoloških pridelkov in živil. Ekološko proizvodnjo je potrebno razvijati na različnih ravneh (poljedelstvo, vrtnarstvo, sadjarstvo, vinogradništvo in živinoreja). Poseben poudarek je potrebno nameniti predelavi ekološko pridelanih pridelkov, kar je še vedno največja hiba. Investicijska vlaganja v opremo in izobraževanje za povečanje pridelave ekološko neoporečne hrane so potrebna na vseh nivojih. Na prvem mestu je kakovostna infrastruktura, ki je zelo pomanjkljiva, sledita pa pomanjkanje predelovalnih obratov ter nezadostna vlaganja v izobraževanje, promocijo in trženje. Predelava ekološko pridelanih živil na kmetiji Bregar je tako šele v povojih in jo bo potrebno začeti v prihodnosti pospešeno razvijati. V diplomskem delu bomo poizkušali podrobneje predstaviti problematiko dopolnilnih dejavnosti na ekološki kmetiji Bregar.The scope of work, we want to research are the opportunities to complete activities in the processing of agricultural products in the organic farm Bregar. More explicit, restructuring integrated agriculture to the ecological agriculture, issue of supplementary activities in the processing of organic products, generally about the law and control system in the field of organic farms. Processing is the weakest link in the Slovenian ecological agriculture. Lack of domestic market (Slovenian) of organic products and food. Organic production should be developed at different levels (agriculture, horticulture, fruit growing, viticulture and livestock breeding). Special emphasis should be given to the processing of organically grown products, which are still the biggest flaw. Investments in equipment and training to increase the ecological integrity of food production are needed at all levels. In the first place, quality infrastructure, which is very deficient, followed by lack of processing facilities and insufficient investment in education, promotion and marketing. Processing of organic food on the farm Bregar is still in its infancy and it will also begin to develop rapidly in the future. This thesis will try to present in detail the issue of supplementary activities on organic farm Bregar
