Stara Kamienica - Nemo

Nemo’s expectation from the project is to develop small scale agriculture farming in
combination with tourism. This is possible because of the characteristics of the area, the
financial subsidies both from the Polish government and the EU are available and there are
farmers willing to cooperate and invest in new opportunities. They are the people who are
really interested in developing that area.
1.2 Objectives of the project
In this part we try to seek the answer for how can we help Nemo to combine agro- tourism
and regional product development to sustain the nature of the area.
Our main objective is to advice Nemo and the farmers by creating a businessplan for a model
farm where Nemo cooperates with Josef Zaprucki, a local person who keeps sheep as a
hobby. They can start developing the area with expanding the opportunities given for
developing the farm combined with tourism; right after the businessplan is published.
Therefore we first describe the situation at this moment. Then we give information and
recommendations on different aspects which are important for the farmers, like sheep
farming, soil improvement and use, certification, financial support and the marketing plan.
These are all aspects the farmer meets when running his farm or other business.
The chapters of the businessplan contain practical tools for the farmers how to develop their
farms and regional products and information for Nemo how to combine it with tourism. The
chapters are organized with the themes of the sub objectives.
1.3 Sub objectives of the businessplan
• Introduce farmers to Nemo and its’ activities and goals by describing the activities of
the organization. In this way they become aware about it and this will decrease the interrelational
distance. (chapter 2)
• Describe how Zaprucki can participate in the model as sheep farmer in Mała
Kamienica by describing his production activities. He will function as an example for
cooperation with a campsite for other farmers. The farmers will be aware that providing
activities or products to tourists will give the chance to be economically independent from the
government. (chapter 2)
• Show the possibilities of having a sheep farm in Stara Kamienica by presenting a
possible cooperation between NEMO and a sheep farmer. Possibilities for farms with other
livestock have been analyzed and seemed not viable in this society. Therefore a model for a
sheep farm has been created. Practical tools for implementing this model will be given.
(chapter 2)
• Inform farmers and NEMO about certification of the ecological and organic farm by
giving an overview of all organisations and possible ways to deal with them. Certification is
very important for farmers who have high production; otherwise they can’t sell their products
on the market. Regulations and information about certification and different institutes will be
given. In this way, the farmers know what they have to do when they want to produce for the
market. In some seasons no tourists will come, so the products have to be sold on the market.
