Various models of state inducements for farmers were presented.
The commercial model focuses on the stimulation of production and
the realisation of a higher income on major private farms. The non-
commercial model is intended for households run by the elderly. The
capital investment model encourages banks to grant loans to
farmers. The rural development model, besides rural areas, is
intended for the preservation of native and protected breeds, and
the marketing preparation of products.
The round table also tackled eco-agriculture as a world trend,
especially as part of sustainable development.
