Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the ability of Polish farms to absorb practices within eco-schemes in Poland in the first year of operation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2023-2027. The type of practices used, their number and the scale of use were determined, taking into account the natural conditions in which the farms implementing them operate. The assessment was made taking into account the division of farms according to the size of utilised agricultural land (UAA) and their location in communes. The analysis concerned thirteen practices within five area eco-schemes that were available to Polish farms in the first year of the Polish Strategic Plan 2023-2027 within EU CAP 2023-2027 implementation. The data used came from the database of the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture. A research method was used that involved analysing the distribution and characteristics of the beneficiary farms of eco-schemes in 2023. It was found that 1/3 of farms benefitted from such support. The size of the farm and the natural management conditions played a role in eco-scheme absorption.
