Many people will associate agriculture and farming with the nostalgic image of fields of cows separated by hedges, a flock of sheep blocking a country road, a meandering river, small villages with local markets, nature and quietness - less stress. No wonder that a television programme such as ‘Farmer wants a wife’ on Dutch television (known in other countries under a less stereotype name, such as ‘L’amour est dans le pré,’) is so popular. This longing for an idyllic countryside has become even more prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the search for nature and space has only increased. As a farmer’s son, I know that the reality of farming can be far from nostalgic these days. Hard work has always been a part of most farmers’ lives, for many a way of life – often seven days a week. And also, during the last decades, part of a life increasingly driven by a scaling up of production to make a living, to meet the price constraints imposed by the market. Agricultural production has become increasingly industrialised with large agro-industrial conglomerates calling the shots. My grandfather’s then sizable farm, over five decades ago, with, among other things, 20 cows, is no comparison anymore with the industrialised farm of my cousin, with over 700 cows. Upscaling has led to specialisations in which monocultures instead of diversity dominate. In parallel, expenditure on groceries has decreased – relatively – in most European citizens’ budget, while the choice of food products from all over the world has increased. But this grobalisation – homogeneous growth – comes at a certain cost in other areas, becoming more tangible every day. With temperatures of 50° Celsius even in Canada, something that used to be a clear yet distant danger called climate change has there become a clear and present danger for farmers and non-farmers alike. Agriculture and rural development have always been an important part of our society. From ensuring food supply, food autonomy and stable farmers’ incomes in the early days of the EU, to food quality and preventing depopulation of rural areas with the most recent EU Common Agricultural Policies (CAP), the CAP is the longest serving EU policy and one of the largest in terms of expenditure under the EU budget. Most of these objectives inspired the Commission’s initial proposals drawn up from 2017 onwards. And they still make sense, as can be seen in times of crisis, when empty shelves in supermarkets are clear signs of everybody’s basic needs. However, soon these objectives were at least equalled, if not superseded, by other objectives, reflected in the European Green Deal and more specifically in the Farm to Fork Strategy and Biodiversity Strategy presented by the European Commission in 2020. This only goes to show again that agricultural policies, like many other policies, cannot be designed in splendid isolation but need to be congruent with many other policy areas, certainly with climate action. If those other policy area objectives are not achieved, farmers are among the first groups to suffer the consequences.

  • Orange Wines
    ORANGE WINES ElMundo de los Vinos Naranja / The World of the Orange wines / Il Mondo dei Vini Orange Slovenian wine tour 4 June, 2019 162 What if one day we would want to go on a wine tour through a European country that was small both in size and in wine production? A place that was yet-to-be-discovered, but which at the same time excellent wines were elaborated? A good choice for this would be Slovenia. The first thing would be to choose our destination airport. Another good thing about Venice is its airport, that for such a small town is served by a large number of airlines that come from almost anywhere in the world. Once there, the only thing left to do is rent a car and go to neighboring Slovenia. Our destination is just an hour and a half from the airport, following the A4 motorway in the direction of Trieste. Other arrival possibilities are the airport of Trieste or the farthest one of Ljubljana, although Venice is the one that enjoys better connections (and better prices as well). During our trip we will spend a few days in one of the four wine regions of this small country with just over two million inhabitants sharing borders with Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. Though it is not widely known, Slovenia has a great wine tradition with a number of wineries exporting their wines all over the world. Primorska is the easternmost Denomination of Origin and it is divided into four areas: Vipavska Dolina (Vipava river valley), Kras, Slovenska Istra and Goriška Brda.

  • Private and Social Farms in Slovenia
    INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS LLH- Budapest, Hungary February 2, 98 Private and Social Farms in Slovenia Mr. Peter ird Martin Institute of Current World AYfairs Wheelock House West Wheelock Street Hanover New Hampshire Dear Peter: Rural women work hard in Slovenia. The reputation oY hard-working Yarm women is such that Slovenian farmers are Yinding it increasingly difficult to find wives. Marriage brokerage agencies exist especially to help young farmers find a marriage partner willing to live and work on a farm. Not that arm life doesn't have its economic rewards. Farms in Slovenia the northwestern republic oY Yugoslavia are relatively prosperous--average Yarm income there is 5 higher then the average Yarm income for Yugoslavia as a whole-- and many of Slovenia's armers have built large new houses well-furnished and modern most with television. Much of the success of Slovenian farms must however be attributed to the contribution of farm wives. Because 80% o Slovenia's farmers work of the farm (i.e. deriving at least 20% o total Yamily income from oYY-farm work) much of the management and labor for the farm operaion is provided by women. Women's contribution is very aparent on the dairy farms I visited south of Ljubljana the capital oY Sloveia. These are private Yarms owned and operated by individuals rather than by the state. One farm located in the wooded hills overlooking the Ljubljana Valley, is run by a young couple with two children. The husband works Yull time as a butcher in the local cooperative while his wife handles all the feeding milkimg and cleaning of dairy cows each o which produces an average o 800 liters oY milk per year.

Marek Hlavica, Ph.D. Anotácia Reality šou je televízny žáner obsahujúci množstvo rozličných formátov. Viaceré z nich vzbudili záujem po celom svete a prostredníctvom licencií boli predané do rozličných krajín. Hoci bolo nevyhnutné dodržiavať základné rysy formátu, každá jedna národná adaptácia sa v niečom musela prispôsobiť publiku, prípadne dala programu iný ráz. Táto diplomová práca sa zaoberá slovenskými verziami vybraných zahraničných formátov. Konkrétne ide o Farmár hľadá ženu, Mama, ožeň ma, Návštevníkov a Ostrov. Annotation Reality show is a television genre which includes various broadcasts. Many of them excited worldwide interest and were sold to diverse countries. Even thought it’s inevitable to respect the basic format, every country had to adapt to their own spectators or modified the character of a TV show in some way. This thesis deals with the slovakian versions of selected foreign reality show formats. Concretely it refers to Farmer Wants a Wife, Who Wants to Marry My Son, Anno (The Visitors in slovak) and Survivor (The Island in slovak).

The controversial discussions on it go from whether Germany at all wanted to built an atomic weapon or only an energy supplying machine (the last only for civil purposes or also for military use for instance in submarines), whether the scientists wanted to support or to thwart such efforts, whether Heisenberg and the others did really understand the mechanisms of an atomic bomb or not, and so on. Examples for both extreme positions in this controversy represent the books by Thomas Powers Heisenberg’s War. The Secret History of the German Bomb,1 who builds up him to a resistance fighter, and by Paul L. Rose Heisenberg and the Nazi Atomic Bomb Project – A Study in German Culture,2 who characterizes him as a liar, fool and with respect to the bomb as a poor scientist; both books were published in the 1990s. In the first part of my paper I will sum up the main facts, known on the German Uranium Project, and in the second part I will discuss some aspects of the role of Heisenberg and other German scientists, involved in this project. Although there is already written a lot on the German Uranium Project – and the best overview up to now supplies Mark Walker with his book German National Socialism and the quest for nuclear power, which was published in * Paper presented on a conference in Moscow (November 13/14, 2001) at the Institute for the History of Science and Technology [àÌÒÚËÚÛÚ ËÒÚÓËË ÂÒÚÂÒÚ‚ÓÁ̇ÌËfl Ë ÚÂıÌËÍË ËÏ.
