The decrease of animal husbandry has affected the Czech agriculture and countryside

Spěšná, D., Drlík, J.

The agricultural production and proportions of agriculture, especially of animal husbandry decreased significantly in last decades. The national economic importance of the sector dropped – as measured by its share on GDP and employment. Nevertheless agriculture remains to be a natural employer of rural inhabitants - and most farmers in the CR still live in rural communities. Particularly smaller villages in areas with the utilizable agricultural land are substantially connected to agricultural production. The leverage of agricultural subjects in the rural society is weakening adequately to decrease of agricultural employment.
