Příspěvek přináší dokumentaci migrační bilance v posledních dvou desetiletích (1992-2010) se zvláštním zaměřením na kategorii nejmenších obcí s méně než 500 obyvateli.
Food systems are of increasing interest in both research and policy communities. Surveys of post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) show high rates of food self-provisioning. These practices have been explained in terms of being ‘coping strategies of the poor’. Alber and Kohler’s ‘Informal Food Production in the Enlarged European Union’ (2008) offers a prominent account of this argument, supported by quantitative data.
