“…With regard to older people, informal training in the countryside may influence their psychological well-being, physical health, and social inclusion (Barnicle & Midden, 2003;Di Iacovo, 2011;Selhub & Logan, 2012;Sempik, Rickhuss, & Beeston, 2014). Moreover, practicing green activities improves older people's vitality (Capaldi, Passmore, Nisbet, Zelenski, & Dopko, 2015) and balance (Chen & Janke, 2012), influences their diet by stimulating their total energy and fluid intake (De Bruin et al, 2010), facilitates higher levels of social engagement (Gigliotti & Jarrott, 2005), and increases social interactions (Makizako et al, 2015). Many studies assessing the impact of green care programs on older people have targeted individuals with dementia (De Boer et al, 2016;De Bruin et al, 2010;Hassink, Elings, Zweekhorst, van den Nieuwenhuizen, & Smit, 2010;Ura et al, 2018), and the majority were carried out in residential facilities and for therapeutic purposes .…”

Due to population aging worldwide, it is important for Health Care Systems to design new services fostering Active Aging dimensions (e.g., physical health, psychological well-being, social engagement, and lifelong learning). The aim of this pilot study was to develop new services fostering Active Aging dimensions by means of a 12-month green care informal learning program targeting 112 individuals among community-dwelling older people and day care center users. The impact of the intervention was assessed through three rounds of focus groups. Individuals’ perception of the training benefits depended on their health and social condition at baseline. The program improved the social participation and learning attitudes of community-dwelling older people and the perceived well-being and health of day care center users. Green care activities triggered an Active Aging virtuous spiral where learning new practical and relational competencies helped older people recognize their value. Thus, it is recommendable to include green care therapy within the practice of services for older people, especially day care centers.

“…Die Niederlande wurde als Referenzgebiet gewählt, da in den Niederlanden Green Care im SeniorInnen-Betreuungsbereich weitgehend etabliert ist und bereits praktische Erfahrungen in Bezug auf die Umsetzung gesammelt werden konnten Hassink et al, 2013;Roest et al, 2010). In den Niederlanden hat sich neben der traditionellen Tagesbetreuung, welche zumeist in ein Pflegezentrum integriert ist, auch das Angebot der Green Care Tagesbetreuung auf landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben durchgesetzt (De Bruin et al, 2010a). Dieses wird sogar bei DemenzpatientInnen erfolgreich angewendet (Bäuerle und Heeg, 2007;De Bruin et al, 2009;2010b).…”

ZusammenfassungEntwicklungen wie der Rückgang land-und forstwirtschaftlicher Betriebe sowie der demografische Wandel stellen die österreichi-sche Landwirtschaft sowie das Gesundheitssystem vor enorme Herausforderungen in der Zukunft. Ein möglicher unterstützender Lösungsansatz für die strukturellen und finanziellen Herausforderungen der landwirtschaftlichen, gesundheitlichen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen bietet das Modell Green Care Tagesbetreuung für SeniorInnen. Die Green Care Tagesbetreuung auf landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben ermöglicht vor allem Bäuerinnen mit einer sozialen Grundausbildung den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit. Um die Umsetzbarkeit von niederländischen Referenzprojekten in Österreich überprüfen zu können, wurden im Rahmen einer empirischen Erhebung Experteninterviews in Österreich sowie in den Niederlanden durchgeführt. Es zeigt sich, dass Green Care Tagesbetreuung für einzelne land-und forstwirtschaftliche Betriebe eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zur bestehenden Betriebsausrichtung darstellen kann, wenn hierfür ein entsprechender Rahmen gegeben ist.Schlagworte: Tagesbetreuung, landwirtschaftliche Diversifizierung, Inhaltsanalyse, Soziale Landwirtschaft, demografischer Wandel SummaryDue to developments like the ongoing structural change in agriculture and forestry as well as the demographic shift, the Austrian agricultural sector and the Austrian health care system are both facing dramatic challenges in the future. Green Care day care for elderly people could be one possible approach to meet structural and financial challenges of agricultural, health and social developments. In particular, Green Care allows female farmers with a social basic education to step into self-employment. In order to evaluate the feasibility of Green Care in Austria, reference projects in the Netherlands are compared with local conditions. The comparison was done by use of qualitative interviews with experts in Austria and the Netherlands. Green Care day care is not an appropriate option for all farms. It is one useful alternative for some individual agricultural and forestry companies if specific requirements are fulfilled.

“…Dessein, Bock, and de Krom, 2013). The public health frame emphasizes the potential benefits that can be derived from the provision of physical and spiritual experiences in a natural setting that encompasses seasonal cycles (De Bruin et al, 2010;De Vries, 2006). The social inclusion framework recognizes that persons with mental illness, as well as others, may have been excluded from the larger society (Dessein, Bock, and de Krom, 2013) and seeks to help them reintegrate into society through activities formulated to increase their knowledge and skills, re-establish their ability to engage in work, and develop their self-esteem.…”

The development of asylums in both Europe and the United States grew out of a social reform movement that sought to improve the living conditions of less fortunate persons and a belief that man could improve his condition by engaging with greater meaning with his social and physical environment. Accordingly, it was believed that mental health impediments could be overcome or removed by creating a healing environment that facilitates the sufferer's re-engagement into purposeful community life. Moral treatment, practiced in the United States and Europe during the period from 1815 to 1875, reflected this benevolent intent. This approach was intended to foster and sustain intimate, supportive relationships between the 'less fortunate persons' ("residents") and the staff through resident engagement in productive labor such as agriculture, resident respite in a peaceful setting away from the usual stresses of daily life, and the development of emotionally close and trusting relationships between staff, between residents, and between residents and staff. This therapeutic milieu, the 'asylums', ultimately could not be sustained over long periods of time due to growing numbers of mentally ill persons, diminishing financial resources, and increasingly diverse resident populations, ineffective organizational leadership and shifting political priorities. Therapeutic farms for mentally ill persons that are premised on the principles of moral treatment methodologies applicable to 21st century needs and resources have
