Initiierung von betriebsübergreifendem Unternehmertum am Beispiel der Initiative „BioRegio Zentralschweiz“

Kurzfassung

Since agricultural markets become increasingly liberalised, the importance of
entrepreneurship in agriculture increases. A number of internal and external factors
related to farm management impede currently the diffusion of entrepreneurial skills.
The initiative ‘BioRegio Zentralschweiz’ encourages organic farmers in the region
Central Switzerland to start their own added-value projects by providing a common
service and a logistic platform for members. Experiences of this initiative show that
farmers need to be guided and supported by external consultants particularly in the
pre-start-phase of such a project.
