“…In addition, extensive and detailed research conducted by Pudełko [53] in the field of various types of biomass (by-products from agriculture, waste from forestry, nature conservation, and municipal and industrial waste) also proved that straw has the greatest energy potential. Research by scientists Demirel et al [34], Mohammed et al [35], and Odavić et al [36], conducting their research outside Europe (in Sudan, Ghana, and Serbia), also noticed great opportunities to use agricultural residues for energy purposes. The identified straw surplus potential can have positive climate impacts if used to support coal-fired power plants, as highlighted by Cintas et al [26].…”

“…Ericsson and Nilsson [33] drew attention to the great possibilities of using energy crops for energy purposes. Other scientists [34][35][36] studying the potential of agricultural residues in different parts of the world (Sudan, Ghana, Serbia) also noted great possibilities of its use for energy purposes, additionally emphasizing the possibilities of solving the problem of energy shortages in these countries. Moreover, Mahmood et al [37] indicate that biogas derived from biomass is also a promising renewable energy source, the importance of which is growing both in Europe and in other countries of the world.…”

The main aim of the article is to assess the potential of agricultural biomass and the possibility of its use for energy purposes in Polish voivodeships. Five sources of agricultural biomass were analyzed: straw, hay, waste wood from orchards, perennial energy crops, and natural fertilizers. For the purposes of the research, the theoretical and technical potential of agricultural biomass was estimated. The potential of agricultural biomass was estimated for Polish voivodeships based on the data of the 2020 Agricultural Census. The conducted research shows that Polish voivodeships have a significant theoretical potential for agricultural biomass. However, due to the fact that biomass is widely used in plant production (as a natural fertilizer) and animal production (as fodder or bedding), only about 40% of the identified theoretical potential can be used for energy purposes. The research also shows that the dominant source of agricultural biomass that can be used in Poland is straw from cereal crops. Moreover, a significant part of the identified potential is located in the western part of Poland (Wielkopolskie, Dolnośląskie, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Zachodniopomorskie voivodships) and partly in the east (Lubelskie voivodship). Although the possibility of using natural fertilizers for energy purposes has not been identified, the theoretical potential of which is very high, an increase in the importance of renewable energy from agricultural biogas plants should be expected in the near future. This is due to the changes taking place in the storage and management of natural fertilizers.

“…Numerous authors have studied the development opportunities of agriculture in the AP Vojvodina. Odavić & Novković (2009) performed an economic analysis of the Vojvodinian agricultural budget in the period 2007-2009. Their findings indicate that the funds allocated to the agricultural sector were insufficient, and that the agricultural policy had to undergo radical changes.…”

Summary As agricultural production is one of the strategic branches of economy in the AP Vojvodina, it is of paramount importance to examine the development opportunities of Vojvodinian agriculture. The primary focus of this research is on the agricultural resources in the AP Vojvodina and both distinctive and economic characteristics of Vojvodinian agricultural production. The purpose of this research is to analyze, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the strategic position of the agricultural complex in the AP Vojvodina, define its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and limitations, and establish a developmental strategy on the basis of the current situation. The results obtained indicate that there is a shortage of and quality deterioration in the agricultural production resources in the AP Vojvodina. A significant decline was also recorded in the workforce, water resource utilization, livestock units per hectare, and production intensity of all agricultural products considered in the research. Accordingly, the authors conclude that the quantity and quality of agricultural resources in the AP Vojvodina should be preserved by increasing the following: the knowledge and skills of agricultural producers, number of livestock units per hectare, areas devoted to perennial crops (especially in micro-regions), competitiveness of agricultural sectors, degree of production finalization, and rural area development.
