“…Within the records analysed, around 36% ( n = 15) aimed at mapping Green Care providers and/or at describing Green Care practices in a geographical area (e.g., a country or a region) [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The remaining approximately 64% ( n = 27) described the perceived benefits of Green Care with animals programs by both users and providers.…”

“…In 25 records, the animal species involved were more than four or generally identified as “farm animals”. Other eight records did not even specify the animal species involved, even if the users interacted directly with them [ 17 , 18 , 20 , 22 , 24 , 26 , 31 , 42 ]. Finally, nine records reported specifically the animal species involved in their activities: in four cases two or three species were mentioned: goats, cattle and pigs [ 37 ], chickens and pigs [ 47 ], chickens and rabbits [ 21 ] or cattle, hens and alpacas [ 33 ].…”

“…In 12%, authors declared that users were involved in Animal Assisted Therapy [ 11 , 17 , 39 , 48 , 49 ]. Only one record referred to “riding horses” [ 27 ] and one to “training animals” [ 19 ] whereas in 7% human–animal interactions were not described in detail [ 13 , 22 , 50 ]. These results are summarized in Figure 5 .…”

“…In five records, authors declared some other activities but these were not described at all [ 19 , 20 , 32 , 45 , 46 ]. The 31% of records referred to mixed programs that included human–animal interactions together with agriculture, horticulture and gardening [ 10 , 13 , 17 , 18 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 33 , 36 , 38 , 42 , 44 ]. The remaining 37% described programs that combined human–animal interactions with extremely various activities such as playing, eating together and conventional therapies.…”

Green Care (GC) and Animal Assisted Interventions (AAI) are recognised practices useful to enhance the wellbeing of people through interaction with nature and animals. This study aims at understanding the interconnections between GC and AAI by analysing deeply which interaction with animals is conducted. Therefore, we carried out a literature search through Web of Science and Google Scholar that allowed retrieval of 993 records; after the PRISMA selection process, 42 were included. Relevant information was extracted: year of publication, geographical location, objectives, settings in agricultural environment, animal species, characteristics of users involved, type of human–animal interaction, coexistence of other activities without animals, animal health and welfare issues. From the review emerged that research on GC with animals is common in high-income countries and that the line between AAI and occupational therapy is often vague. Moreover, the most common setting for these interventions appears to be the farm, and frequently animals involved are not selected according to their ethological characteristics. Users in this context are extremely various and not only involved in activities with animals. Within the included studies, we noted a lack in the consideration of animal welfare that indicates the need for increased awareness among practitioners and a more ethical approach when animals are involved.

“…In South Korea, the field of agriculture has expanded more broadly from simply production-oriented agriculture, and interest in care farming has increased due to the government's recent "Sixth Industrialization of Agriculture" policy [15]. In order to create and develop a suitable care farming system in South Korea during this preliminary stage, studies have been conducted to investigate the awareness of and need for care farming, demand and operation status of care farms, development of care farming activities for various clients, and viable ways to establish and promote the concept of care farming [19,20]. These activities take place in natural settings offered by care farms.…”

We designed a pilot study to develop a family interaction model-integrated a care farming program with mother-child pairs as the participants. In this pilot study, we aimed to assess the effects of the care farming program on communication skills and psychological health in families. Sixteen mother-child pairs in Sejong, South Korea participated in this study. The families participated in a care farming program once a week for six weeks (90 min per session) between May and July 2018. The care farming program was developed based on parenting education skills, strengths-based cognitive behavioral therapy, and the emotional intelligence model; the result was a family interaction model intended to improve communication and psychological health among mothers and children. The program consisted of gardening activities such as making a garden plot, planting transplants, harvesting, and cooking the harvested crops. Upon completion of the six-session program, we evaluated communication with the Parent-Children Communication Inventory, depression with the Beck Depression Inventory, and resilience with the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale among the mothers. We also evaluated emotional intelligence among the children with the Emotional Intelligence Scale. According to post-intervention results, mothers showed significantly increased resilience, improved communication skills with their child, and decreased depression, while children showed significantly improved emotional intelligence (p < 0.05). Despite the study’s limitation in establishing causality between the care farming program and the observed effects on family health, the care farming program clearly contributed to the observed improvements of mother-child communication skills, mothers’ psychological health, and children’s emotional intelligence, which in turn improved overall family health.

Background and objective: This study seeks to investigate domestic agro-healing farm resources so that preliminary data can be obtained on the systematic provisions for agro-healing programs in order to improve service quality and to identify the quality of agro-healing policy services.Methods: For this study, owners of agro-healing facilities were asked 24 questions via an online survey. An importance–performance analysis (IPA) was conducted to identify service quality for each policy sector.Results: Respondents’ satisfaction levels were low when compared to agro-healing farm owners’ perceptions of the above-average importance of each sector. The results from the resource analysis of domestic agro-healing farms indicated that the main operational purposes of farms were, in descending order, experience (90.0%), healing (86.7%), and education (84.0%). With respect to the type of program that was operated, cultivating crops (horticultural therapy) was identified most frequently at 83.3%.Conclusion: As a result of this study, the resources possessed by agro-healing farms were identified. In addition, the results of the IPA analysis in terms of service quality are not as good as expected, and performance levels should be increased to improve this. The results of this study are expected to provide useful information not only to improve the quality of agro-healing services, but also to revitalize the agro-healing industry while developing a systematic agro-healing program.
