One of the side-effects of globalisation is the loss of the connection between humans and nature. I believe it is vital to revive and strengthen this symbiosis, thus in my thesis I am striving to find a sustainable alternative, in which the individual can live together with their surroundings in harmony. I am investigating this matter focusing on the possibilities that a family farm might hold. I reinforce my macro-level literature-based research with a micro-level empirical study, that I have conducted in a local community. The collective I have chosen is the Szeri Ökotanyák Szövetsége (Eco-farms of Szer foundation), which is located in the area between Ópusztaszer and Pusztaszer, a place scattered with farms.
