W niniejszej pracy wyodrębniona grupa gospodarstw zrównoważonych spełniała określone normy z zakresu środowiskowo-produkcyjnego. Każde z gospodarstw cechujących się wskazaną strukturą upraw oraz obsadą zwierząt w gospodarstwie uznano za przyjazne środowisku. W pracy przyjęto następujące kryteria 1 świadczące o przyjazności rolniczego gospodarowania względem środowiska naturalnego:

Different benefits are the attributes of this model, e.g., production (allowing to ensure food security), economic (pertaining to income level), environmental (approaching to reduce the pressure of agriculture on the natural environment), as well as social ones (seeking to maintain the vitality of rural areas, ensuring safe food; Zegar, 2005). An important part is the rational use of agricultural production space to maintain the production potential of soil (Krasowicz, 2005). The concept of sustainable development of agriculture is not uniformly understood and defined. The discourse is designated by two lines of thinking. The first takes as a basis the relation between the spheres i.e., a certain equilibrium. The second takes into consideration the meeting of certain criteria—critical thresholds of sustainability in the individual spheres (Zegar, 2005). Additionally, sustainable agriculture should be considered at the different levels of vertical order, paying particular attention to microeconomic level of sustainability—the farm level (Wrzaszcz & Zegar, 2016). Economic objectives are the most important in the case of farms, while others—social and environmental goals—should be achieved simultaneously, according to sustainability theory. Taking into consideration limited environmental resources, the superiority of this system should be the benchmark for the social and economic activity of farmers. The main environmental requirement of farmers’ activity is to maintain soil productive potential, which is one of the basic elements of the natural environment used in agriculture. The basic principles for conducting agricultural production with respect for natural resources are suitable crop rotation and plant fertilization, adapted to local environmental conditions. Crop rotation—which can be defined as a rational sequence of cultivated plants, considering their diverse needs concerning position in crop rotation—comprises the canon of traditional agrotechnics (Manteuffel, 1984, p. 310). Proper crop rotation and fertilization should ensure a positive balance of soil organic matter, recognized as the basic principles of proper management in agriculture (Kuś, Krasowicz, & Kopiński, 2008, p. 13). Positive balance is the necessary condition for ensuring appropriate productivity of cultivated crops. Organic matter, and its conversion into humus, plays the main role in creating and maintaining soil fertility at a high level, i.e., favorable for plant growth and yields, and their physical, chemical, and biological properties. Humus content in the soil leads to obtaining crops of high quality and increasing yield level. The above issues point to the important role of sustainable agriculture, including agricultural land, in the creation of the bioeconomy. Development of the bioeconomy is not possible without the implementation of sustainable agriculture, due to the need to provide agricultural biomass, produced in accordance with respect for natural resources and processes. Development of this model of agriculture comes in other sectors of the bioeconomy, at least in terms of renewable energy generation and distribution or the support of tourism in rural areas. The concept of the bioeconomy means an extensive strategy and action plan for the sustainable use of renewable biological resources in different areas of the economy. Maintaining natural resources and their rational use is leading to this concept (Adamowicz, 2016). In accordance with the guidelines, the bioeconomy should Wioletta Wrzaszcz Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics—National Research Institute In the year 2012, the European Commission adopted the strategic document underlining the need for bioeconomy development, which requires the implementation of sustainable agriculture. In view of the above, the need for defining the direction of farm development arises, whether it is sustainable or industrial development. Research conducted on the basis of Polish public statistics from 2005, 2007, and 2016 indicated some progress in farms’ sustainable development. Data analysis indicated that there is still a need to support farms in order to stimulate their environmental organization and desirable agricultural practice implementation.

Different proposals are presented and discussed, and still, there is no generally accepted measures of the sustainability of agriculture. This problem also concerns economic sustainability of agriculture. Sustainability of agricultural holdings determines the sustainability of agriculture, although these notions are not identical. The purpose of the article is to present proposals for measuring the economic sustainability of agricultural holdings on the basis of Agricultural Census 2010 data. This article sets the following indicators of the economic sustainability: land productivity, labour profitability, farms market activity and sources of households’ income and maintenance. The analysis concerns individual agricultural holdings with at least 1 ha of agricultural land and it is also carried out in four area groups.

For several decades, international programs and strategies for sustainable development have been implemented. The need to achieve various objectives in business activity is also underlined by the European Green Deal strategy, introduced at the end of 2019. An important element of it is the correct management of natural fertilizers, both for environmental and production and economic reasons. The case of the Netherlands was presented, where pilot studies on the conversion of manure into RENURE were introduced. The study used literature sources and selected, recent statistics from Eurostat resources (2019, 2020). Agriculture in EU countries in the context of production and possibilities of using natural fertilizers is illustrated. Analysis of statistical data has shown that agriculture in the EU is highly diversified in terms of ...

EGD concerns agriculture, including organic, hence the importance of recognizing the current path of development of this management system and future prospects. The aim of this paper is illustration of current challenges in organic farming and its environment in Poland, taking into account European strategic and market goals. The population of organic farms and other organic entities operating in this segment were analyzed. The period covered 2004-2020, and data of Agricultural and Food Quality Inspection and Statistics Poland. Indicator analysis methods were used and trends were established. A comparison of the statistics for 2020 and 2004 showed the development of organic farming in Poland, taking into account the farms' number and the agricultural land in organic system. The period 2004-2020 was not homogeneous, and the last years can be considered as a period of stagnation. In the adopted perspective, the production profile of organic farms changed, which more and more often carried out only crop production, omitting livestock production. The further development of organic farming will be an important challenge, also taking into account the level of development of the market environment of organic farms, in particular the number of processors and operators involved in the supply of certified seed. The main determinant of the development of organic farming in Poland was, and in the next few years probably will be, the institutional factory.
