Abstract

The research is focusing on the Big Koppány stream (Hungary), which is designated by local communities as an experimental area for agro-ecological development. This poverty stricken, underdeveloped area is showing symptoms of continuous ecological deterioration (typical in many areas of Hungary and Europe). We introduce the partly surviving agri-cultural heritage of the area. We also introduce Vox Valley Development Association who is decided to demonstrate the possible actions which help the formation of a sustainable agro-ecological system. This paper concentrates on proposals which will help the evolution of such a system.
