However, after being provided, the supplies were not supervised by anyone. They did not ask if there was enough space for livestock farming, if people had any fodder for feeding, or if they had the required know-how for taking care of the animals. Based on the judgement of the mayors, this was (also) an especially harmful initiative from the perspective of the land programme and hardly anything was accomplished from it. In the land programme, A földprogramban “It is not, say, 120 families, … but only 15, who get it. We created the application process so that we see the opportunity for 15 families to receive it. And we won’t believe that the fox stole it or the rat ate it. So that is why it is [done] small-scale, so we can actually supervise everything.” (Felsődobsza, expert interview)

In the land programme, the training of participants has been organised in every community. In Jászladány, for example, there was a 20-h training session on small livestock farming. One part took place at the time of signing the contract, while the other part when they already had the animals and the feed available. The training in Zsáka also consisted of several parts. “We had this course about different plant cultures … the formation of a kitchen garden, plant care, plant protection, gardening tools, their maintenance, as well as taking care about smaller animals, animal health, and household management for the participants.” (Zsáka, expert interview)“Those who received chickens all had to turn up. We sat in the school desks and there was someone who taught us, then they were presenting the material with a projector and talking about what we should do… and that we would ned to supply eggs and then they would hatch [the day-old chicks] from that… it is possible again, if we hand in our applications, we can get it again, but thank God I got them again… I’ve been taking part in the programme for two years now.” (Jászladány, woman, 55, with five children)

“Yeah, sure, it is in every year. … this XY said such clever things about livestock farming, said such things that you would not know before” (Panyola, woman in her 30s, with two children)
