What Zachodniopomorski Ośrodek Doradztwa Rolniczego does

Zachodniopomorski Ośrodek Doradztwa Rolniczego (ZODR) is a regional government-funded agricultural advisory center headquartered in Barzkowice, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. Founded in 1956, the organization delivers direct consulting, training, and informational services to farmers, agritourism operators, rural women's groups, and agricultural water partnerships within its voivodeship. It operates under the supervision of the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MRiRW) and implements national and EU agricultural policy programs, including the Strategic Plan for the Common Agricultural Policy (PS WPR 2023-2027) and the Rural Development Program (PROW).

ZODR's service portfolio spans agricultural advisory consulting (economics, technology, ecology, rural development), paid and subsidized training programs (in-person and online via the Szkolenia Online platform), publications (magazine, brochures), event organization (agricultural fairs, horticultural exhibitions, regional competitions), and specialized programs such as the Ecological Farms Catalog, Local Water Partnerships (Lokalne Partnerstwa ds. Wody), and the Innovation Network for Agriculture (SIR). The center also provides digital tools including the e-DWIN agricultural data system and an internal Panel Doradcy advisor portal. Service delivery is decentralized through Powiatowy Zespoły Doradztwa Rolniczego (PZDR) county-level advisory teams across the voivodeship, including a relocated team in Stargard.

The business model is predominantly public-sector funded through the MRiRW budget allocation, supplemented by fee-based services such as paid training courses (Szkolenia płatne), accommodation and conference facilities, and publications. ZODR holds 101-250 employees and serves as one of sixteen regional agricultural advisory centers within Poland's national advisory system coordinated by Centrum Doradztwa Rolniczego w Brwinowie (CDR). Strategic partners include ARiMR (EU subsidy distribution), KRUS (farmer insurance), regional universities, and environmental funds.
