| In the course of the close interplay between any scientific approach and its object, research has a modifying impact on the latter. The same is true for agriculture as scientific object. This is a particularly evident problem in organic farming, as the worldview of organic farming, arguments in marketing and farming practice seem to be in contrast to contemporary academic science which is, however, of great significance for organic research. Thus, organic research often appears to be carried out on the same theoretical basis which is opposed by organic practice and its ethical and philosophical backgrounds. At various levels, the apparent antagonism between holism and reductionism is part of this problem. This paper discusses whether holistic science is... |

| The present, for all parties unsatisfying governmental grant system of agricultural nature protection should be adapted in the future individual farm approaches. Methods referring to this are already developed. Instead of invariable directions given all over the country, the applicants formulate actions exactly adjusted for the special locality and the individual farm. An accredited expert attests the conformity of the plan with the laws of nature protection. Consultation is a further topic for governmental granting. All granted actions are to be made transparent to the public. This enhances private-official networks as required by the European Agricultural Convention. |

| Conclusions The examination of the question, “why animals on farms” demonstrates the potential of “in-farm research” to gaining in-depth knowledge of the farm. The scientist’s observations and co-working on the farm are a method of choices that allows an accurate evaluation of the current situation of the farm, its atmosphere and the inner perspective of the farmers. It also lets the scientist contrast impressions from a personal point of view and to challenge statements made by the farmers. In addition, farmers were grateful for the “non-economic” assessments of the farm. As a consequence of this work, the reasons farmers give for keeping cows has become more conscious, and their decisions may strengthen their motives while also helping with public... |
