In 2018, the Vegetable Growers Union of Bohemia and Moravia launched a campaign to promote the consumption of local vegetables. Our farm is in it with them. A team of enthusiastic greengrocers is visiting food festivals and traditional agricultural events with the vegetable harvest, heading to schools to visit children - "because it all starts with our little ones" - and planning a series of events in front of shopping centres and supermarkets.
Together with our sister Farm Kameničany in Slovakia, we support the activities of the "Sweet Children" project, which raise awareness about type 1 diabetes in children in our country and in Slovakia and healthy eating for children in general.
Diabetic children make up a numerically insignificant part of all diabetic patients, their number is now around 3 800 in the whole country, which is about three times more than twenty years ago.

A healthy diet is essential for good compensation in children diagnosed with DM1. And our tomatoes and cucumbers not only make life tastier, but also healthier.
The global phenomenon TED is known for its receptivity to innovative ideas. And it doesn't just have to be about ambition to change the world; you often have to change yourself because that's where it all starts.
As part of our corporate philosophy, we give space to anyone with a vision and can share it with others. That's the only way visions can become reality. And Farma Bezdínek wants to be there - with the initial ideas and impulses that, sooner or later, can turn into a big, society-wide idea.
