Ekologizacja rolnictwa w aspekcie polityki finansowego wsparcia

Abstract

The aim of the article is to recognize the process of greening of the agriculture in Poland in terms of worldwide development tendencies and the policy of financial support under the CAP. Analyses were conducted using statistical data from the International Federation of Organic Agriculture – IFOAM, the Institute of Organic Farming Research - FIBL and the Main Inspectorate of Trade Quality of Agricultural and Food Products – GIJHARS. Analyses showed that the process of greening of the agriculture is proceeding at different speeds on individual continents, but it is in Europe that both the area of cultivation and the market for organic food products is rapidly growing. In Poland, the implemented policy of financial support has a major impact on the process of greening of the agriculture, and the success of this process depends on the market strengthening of ecological farms (increase in commodity and shortening the food supply chain) and building ecological awareness of consumers.
