Summary/Abstract: The article considers recent documentation and projects that have contributed to the creation of a framework for the quality development of social agriculture. To date, this theme has most often been associated in the Czech Republic with comprehensive support for people with disabilities and social disadvantages. Although the number of social farms in the Czech Republic is still relatively low (a few dozen), in 2020, the topic of social agriculture was included in at least three strategic documents and comprised the central theme of a number of international projects focusing on education. The author opines that these initiatives need to be further transformed into specific measures and, inter alia, should aim at motivating students to translate the acquired knowledge into practice so that social agriculture in the Czech Republic can continue to develop and to ensure that the efforts made to date do not simply remain on paper.
