“…The possibility of obtaining such financial support was the primary determinant of the conversion of farms to the organic system of agricultural production. Drabarczyk and Wrzesińska-Kowal (2015) believe that the lower subsidies projected for the period of 2014-2020 and the change of the rules of granting the subsidies caused that the number of organic farms began to shrink. This indicates that some of the farmers did not have any long-term intention operating their farms following the organic methods.…”

The objective of the study was the analysis of changes in the development of organic farming in Poland over the period of 2004-2018. The results obtained indicate that following the accession of Poland to the EU organic farming in the country developed dynamically. However, since 2014 the situation has changed and a decrease in the number of organic farms has been noted for the first time. The area of arable soils during the conversion period decreased over the years 2012-2015. As a result of that, the area of arable lands in organic farms with certificates began to shrink since 2015. Within the period under analysis a change of area structure of organic farms took place. Hence, in the years 2016-2018 a high percentage was constituted by farms with areas of 10-20 ha and 20-50 ha, the share of small and very small farms being also significant. The Polish production of organic produce is diversified regionally, which is well illustrated by the latest data from the individual provinces. In terms of the total number of organic farms, the Warmińsko-mazurskie and Podlaskie Provinces are outstanding. The largest total area of lands under organic farming is to be found in the Warmińskomazurskie and Zachodniopomorskie (West Pomeranian) Provinces.

“…This was caused by the changing perspective of EU subsidies for 2014-2020. It reduced the number of producers for the first time in many years in 2014 [21,51]. For example, in Poland, in 2014, new conditions for granting green payments were defined.…”

“…Demand segmentation is taking place globally, and the group of the so-called "green consumers" who prefer a healthy lifestyle and organic products, including food, is growing [61][62][63][64][65]. It responds to the growing health awareness of society [21,55,65,66], society getting richer, and the growing popularity of vegan and vegetarian diets [30]. The fashion for organic products was also noticed by the authors surveyed by the article's authors and is considered one of the key motives for establishing and running organic farms.…”

Contemporary Challenges to the Organic Farming: A Polish and Hungarian Case Study

2021

From year to year, there is an increasing demand for agricultural produce from certified organic farms. However, Poland and Hungary’s demand for this product is almost twenty times smaller than in Western European countries. The greater the demand by consumers for organic farming products, the more agricultural producers decide to switch from conventional farming to organic farming, and this farming is more environmentally friendly because it uses energy and natural resources responsibly, maintains biodiversity, maintains regional ecological balance, improves soil food, and maintains good water quality. This research aimed to compare the motives and barriers to running organic farms in Poland and Hungary, and the challenges farmers must face to undertake the trouble of running an organic farm. The research was carried out among 400 Polish and 400 Hungarian farmers running organic farms. For statistical calculations, discriminant analysis, as well as single-base and chain indices, were used. The main barriers for establishing organic farms: the necessity to adapt one’s farm to the EU requirements, using only natural fertilizers, low yields, the lack of proper advice, and a high degree of bureaucracy. Therefore, for organic farming to develop, further education is needed, both for farmers and consumers. An important aspect is improving the quality of the regulations and simplifying the administrative burden related to organic farming.

“…In order to find an answer to the predetermined question, this study considers a sample of Hungarian farmers and develops multiple research hypotheses. We chose to carry out this study in Hungary because, despite the fact that the European "Farm to Fork" strategy aims to allocate at least 25% of each country's agricultural area to organic production by 2030 [27], Hungary is still well below the established threshold, as, in the country, organic farming remains a niche market [28]. The willingness of farmers to establish organic farms is much lower than in Western European countries [29].…”

Transition to Organic Farming: A Case from Hungary

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable agricultural solutions have emerged as feasible options for mitigating the negative environmental impacts created by agricultural production or adapting to inevitable climate change. Organic food production has become one of the most popular sustainable solutions among these. There is also a clear scientific consensus that transformative changes in agricultural systems and practice are needed as a response to the effects of climate change. A great variety of factors that influence the transition to organic farming have been found and identified over time. To understand the dynamics that lead farmers to move to organic farming, it is necessary to examine the relationship between these factors. In this study, we investigated the impacts of certain factors on the possibility of Hungarian farmers’ conversion to organic production in the context of climate change adaptation. This dynamic was studied using descriptive and exploratory techniques on a cross-sectional sample. While the study supported certain well-established facts, it also yielded some surprising findings. One of our findings is that the transition to organic farming does not seem to be motivated by the perception of bad weather events, which is somewhat surprising. This outcome contradicts the frequently claimed idea that organic farming may be a successful adaptation strategy.
