“…The downward trend in the agriculture labor market greatly determined the volume of green employment in Podkarpackie, Świętokrzyskie, Mało-polskie, and Kujawsko-Pomorskie, i.e., regions with a strong concentration of agricultural production (Kopiński, 2018). The number of people working in agriculture in the total number of employed decreased dramatically in almost all voivodeships in 2022.…”

In this study, we employed a stepwise empirical approach to identify economic sectors and analyze the regional potential for green job (GJ) creation in Poland. We used the operating register of economic entities (REGON) and Polish Labor Force Survey (BAEL) data for the period between 2015 and 2022. The changes in REGON reflect a proxy of changes in GJ stock in sectors of economic activity (PKD-2007) and regions. We estimated trends and spatial diversification of green employment. The results revealed that Mazowieckie, Wielkopolskie, Małopolskie, and Śląskie are the most attractive regions for GJ creation. The polarization of green employment declined during the analyzed period, but spatial disparities were still significant. Most sectors noted increases in GJ, except for agriculture, where the downward trend in employment has a significant influence on the green labour market. Our findings may be useful when formulating policy recommendations for educational institutions, employment institutions, local governments, government institutions, investors, and employers.

“…Changes taking place in Polish agriculture, including animal production, are significantly influenced by external conditions shaped by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and capital, raw material, and product markets [Kopiński 2015]. After Poland's integration with the EU, financial support for agricultural production under various aid programs has increased.…”

Aim: The study aimed to identify regional specialization and changes in competitiveness in the field of animal production in Poland. Methods: The analysis covered statistical data of the Central Statistical Office from 2010–2021 on a national scale and in individual voivodeships. The study used a comparative analysis of animal production in regional terms. In order to determine the specialization of the region and to analyze changes in competitiveness over time, the classic method of Shift-Share Analysis (SSA) was used. Results: Major changes are taking place in Poland in the stock of farm animals and the production of animals for slaughter. In the years 2010–2021, the pig stock decreased drastically, and the stock of cattle, especially for fattening and poultry, increased. Changes in livestock stock contributed to an increase in beef cattle and poultry production and a decrease in the production of live pigs. Conclusions: There is specialization in Poland, and the concentration of production of the most important livestock species in individual voivodeships is increasing. Specialization and concentration processes allow for more effective use of farm resources and greater competitiveness of regions. However, the accelerating concentration of production may threaten the sustainable development of agriculture and negatively affect the natural environment. Therefore, further research on the impact of specialization and concentration of animal production on food security and the natural environment is recommended.

“…With regard to that, GPB testifies to the correctness of a nutrient's economy and is an important indicator of sustainability [38]. The usefulness of GPB results in practice increase in juxtaposition with the state of soil fertility, groundwater quality, and yield measurements.…”

“…In respect to this, Kopiński and Matyka [24] estimated that advisable increases in P fertilization should reach 34 kg P 2 O 5 •ha -1 UAA in 2025. One of the many characteristics of Polish agriculture is a large regional variation of natural conditions and intensity of production [36][37][38][39]. This explains why average values of fertilizer indicators inadequately reflect the factual situation and changes occurring within the country and more precise spatial accuracy would be recommended.…”

Phosphorus (P) is an essential building block of life. It naturally occurs in the environment as organic and mineral compounds, mostly as orthophosphates. P is introduced into agriculture as phosphorus mineral fertilizers (PMF), manures, and other organic sources such as digestate and sewage sludge. It is an irreplaceable element, as there is no substitute for its use in animal feed and fertilizer. Sustainable P management is vital as P is one of the most yield-forming factors for determining production capacity, including varietal improvement. In addition, when used efficiently, losses are minor and almost irrelevant [1][2].Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 25, No. 6 (2016), 2461-2468 AbstractPhosphorus (P) is an essential building block of life. It is an irreplaceable part of agriculture, as there is no substitute for its use for producing food and feed. The objective of P fertilization is to add an adequate (in regard to soil test P) amount of P to produce an economical yield. Unbalanced P management leads to P wastage, lower cost-effectiveness of production, and water quality impairment. The aim of this paper is to analyze the structure and trends in the consumption of phosphorus mineral fertilizers and to draw gross phosphorus balance in Poland (NUTS level 1) and by regions (NUTS level 2). In Poland, P for agriculture is mainly applied as a compound fertilizer, among which diammonium phosphate represents the greatest share. Average P consumption rate in Poland has declined slightly since 2008, currently reaching 24.4 kg P 2 O 5 •ha -1 UAA. The differences in intensity of farming, measured by the consumption of PMF, reached more than 200%, and this differentiation has intensified over the years. The polarization of Polish agriculture is also confirmed by GPB outcome, as differences between provinces are in the range of -1.9 kg P•ha -1 UAA in Małopolskie to 7.7 kg P•ha -1 UAA in the Wielkopolskie region. The differences in crop and animal production in Poland are largely conditioned by both organizational and production management, which conjointly affect agricultural phosphorus use efficiency.
