Uwarunkowania funkcjonowania i rozwoju gospodarstw rodzinnych w Polsce

Family farms in Poland are observed to be very diversified according to many criteria. This variability has been caused by a set of various reasons and phenomenon. All of them are of the complex character. When operating, farms in Poland have faced numerous constraints and limitations, which under market forced economy resulted both in widening farms' differentiation and in improvement of their development possibilities. In the light of the above, family farms are required to be covered by the government protection and supporting policy. In this field, the focus should be on the undertaking and implementation of specific activities of legal, organisational and financial nature. The farms' development dynamics, scope and direction will severely depend on adopted and implemented strategy for development of Polish agriculture in the coming years.
