ABSTRACT

The aim of the study presented in the paper
was the evaluation of the possibilities of sustainable development of individual
farms. From this point of view, polls were prepared and carried out in central
and north provinces of Poland due to their significance for national farm production.
The application of an intentional selection of the subjects aimed at the recognition
of the innovative opinions of the farmers, who cooperate with agricultural advisory
centres and educate their successors at secondary agricultural schools, on whom
the image of Polish agriculture will soon depend. The results have shown that
the majority of the respondents used techniques and technologies consisting in
proper utilisation of natural resources and keeping of long-term balance of the
environment. Therefore, it may be said that a true chance of sustainable development
of individual farms exists.

Key words: agriculture, rural areas, sustainable development.
