Every year we provide expert service for the Ministry of Agriculture within the framework of Thematic Tasks and Special Thematic Tasks. Task assignments reflect the needs of the Ministry of Agriculture and the current situation and trends in agriculture, many of them have long-term character. The outputs of these tasks are provided directly to the Ministry of Agriculture for the purposes of creation of the policy and the measures in the field of agriculture, food industry and forestry. The most important thematic task is the annual preparation of the Report on the state of agriculture in the Czech Republic.
