“…Agricultural land resources, taking up 54 % of the republic area value, represent a space for the environment, land formation and recreational potential used especially by the urban part of the Czech population and, last but not least, also the possibility for constant development of the agricultural area in the context of creating innovations and start-ups, which have hitherto been relatively few in comparison to other sectors. Based not only on the strategy of the Ministry of Agriculture CR, but also results gained by research, for instance, by Ruiz-Garcia et al (2016), Whitehouse et al (2014) or Salgado et al (2013) and others, it can be summarised that agriculture is among the strategic sectors of the national economy, although constant emphasis has to be placed on education the broad public, in which potential start-up founders, whether more or less successful, can be found.…”

Continuous formation of new businesses, start-ups, which could establish themselves on the market and be successful, should be supported in all economic areas, and the area of agriculture is no exception. Thus the main aim of this paper is to formulate a recommendation for educational institutions which prepare future generations, among others, to establish start-ups in agriculture that reflect fundamental success factors. The data were acquired with the aid of structured interviews (n = 6), which were carried out in electronic form. The respondents agreed that they considered the greatest obstacle, and at the same time challenge, to be the entry into the unknown, and that fear of failure in the context of an enterprise in the area of agriculture, food and nutrition has arrived only in the last few years, when loans, employees and obligations are on the rise.

“…Currently there are two urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTP Tarragona and WWTP Vila Seca-Salou) that are planned to supply reclaimed water to the Industrial Petrochemical Area of Tarragona with estimated capacity of 6.8 hm 3 /year to 10.5 hm 3 /year and to a final maximum flow of 20 hm 3 /year. This supply would replace the water from the Ebro River, releasing this volume to meet future drinking water supply demand (Salgado et al, 2012;Veolia, 2012).…”

This work focuses on the application of electrolysis with carbon felt cathodes for the reclamation of actual effluents from municipal wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) in combination with different anode materials (dimensionally stable anodes-DSA, conductive diamond anodes-CDA and iron-Fe). First of all, the efficiency of electrodisinfection with CDA and DSA was assessed, finding that total elimination of Escherichia coli (E. coli) can be attained at applied electric charges below 0.03 Ah dm-3 , and that the disinfection process is more efficient when using CDA. Furthermore, it was observed that the formation of hydrogen peroxide on carbon felt cathodes limits the concurrence of disinfection by-products (chlorates, perchlorates and organic chlorinated by-products), an interesting result that broadens the potential of CDA for the regeneration of urban wastewater. Results with Fe anodes show that it is possible to attain the complete removal of microorganisms with comparable efficiency to that of CDA (due to the contribution of Fenton's reaction) and that it was possible to totally remove the turbidity of the effluent when working at current densities from 12.50 A m-2. Finally, it was found that Fe is the most efficient anode material (lowest power consumption) at low current densities and CDA is the most appropriate one at current densities higher than 5 A m-2. According to these results, the pairs anode-cathode CDA-carbon felt and Fe-carbon felt behave as the most promising electrode materials to be applied in wastewater reclamation processes.
