Social farming - what is it?
Social farming is a type of farming where in addition to agricultural products production, an employment opportunities are offered to socially disadvantageous people (e.g disabled people, addicts etc) to keep them communicating and developing.
That's mostly because of working with animals and gardening helps disabled people to manage their life better and offers joy. And of course it helps to create working habit.
