Seite 2 Die Landwirtschaft setzt ein Zeichen mit „Gutes vom Bauernhof“ Der Kauf heimischer Lebensmittel steht nicht nur für Frische, kurze Transportwege und Saisonalität der Produkte, sondern sichert auch den Arbeitsplatz Bauernhof. Gerade in der heutigen Zeit, wo Rückverfolgbarkeit und Herkunft der Produkte immer wichtiger werden, sollte der Einkauf in der Nähe beim Bauern eine besondere Rolle spielen. Dies hilft nicht nur dem einzelnen Bauern selbst, sondern erhält eine lebendige, vielfältige und gesunde Region. Beim Erwerb eines bäuerlichen Produktes können Sie auch Details über Produktion, Herstellung sowie Vorzüge und Einsatzmöglichkeiten eines Produktes direkt vom Produzenten erfahren. Um bäuerliche Familienbetriebe bei ihrer Arbeit in der Direktvermarktung zu unterstützen, wurde österreichweit ein Programm zur Qualitätssicherung erarbeitet, welches sich durch die Marke „Gutes vom Bauernhof“ präsentiert. In Oberösterreich gibt es derzeit 368 Betriebe, die mit dieser Marke ausgezeichnet sind. Durch den einheitlichen Werbeauftritt bei Hof- und Markttafeln, Foldern und dgl. sind diese Betriebe leicht für den Konsumenten erkennbar. Betriebe, die mit diesem Zeichen ausgezeichnet sind, garantieren für ..... fachgerechte und sorgfältige Verarbeitung ihrer Produkte . Sicherstellung der Herkunft .
