I’m a researcher. Can you direct me to the evidence base for care farming/animal assisted therapy/social and therapeutic horticulture?
Take a look at the Resources pages on our website. Most published research into care farming is available here. For further information on social and therapeutic horticulture try the Thrive website. For information on Animal Assisted Therapy try the Society for Companion Animal Studies website. Alternatively join the European Farming for Health Community of Practice which has a large mailing list including many academics and researchers. The SoFar research project has also been running since 2006. “So Far” is a multi-country specific support action, funded by the EU Commission. It’s main goal is to support the building of a new institutional environment for “social/care farming”.
