Keywords:

Abstract
Social farming (SF) is a fast growing sector in the European context of rural development, but the European Economic and Social Committee (2013 / C 44/07) stresses that SF should be planned and implemented within the new development policy for Rural regions(2014-2020), to can be obtained satisfactory results. The concept of SF may be associated with agriculture as a multifunctional activity, giving agricultural practice new meanings and functions, including social services, treatment and rehabilitation, education and training, and support. In addition, agriculture should be viewed as a means of employment and social integration of groups as diverse as the people who are unemployed or living with mental retardation, mental disorders or addictions. As a result of innovative social activities agriculture contributes to the social economy, agriculture and regional development, and support for new agro-social paradigm. These are mainly activities related to the endogenous resources of the territory, generating new businesses, together with additional activities to consolidate economic networks as a basis for regional development.References
