The land is what matters: factors driving family farms to organic production in Poland

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse tendency of farms to switch from conventional to organic production. Design/methodology/approach The study used data on 6,229 individual farms, which in 2009–2016 continued to participate in the Polish FADN. Estimation of logit models allowed the authors to indicate, separately for each period in the years between 2009 and 2015, a set of characteristics influencing the decision of farms on the use of organic production. Findings The authors demonstrate that, … Show more

“…The relations between its actors and the power they represent in the fair distribution of benefits, makes the third area is research and development challenges. It means also promoting sustainable short food chains, organic farming, initiatives and new green business models in food processing, wholesale, retail and food services, what is line with the recent studies (Chmielinski et al, 2019;Jolink & Niesten, 2015). To this end, institutional changes are required to educate effective systems to tackle food fraud along the food supply chain (Montanari et al, 2016), as well as development of information hubs to connect primary producers with potential customers, see: (Bachev, 2020).…”

“…As larger agricultural businesses are more able to improve performance, smaller businesses must search for new business models that incorporate environmental and quality standards. The redesign of public support to small businesses improve environmental sustainability may be essential to mitigate the costs associated (Chmielinski et al, 2019; Rueda et al, 2018), since Agri‐Environmental measures (AEMs), promoted by CAP, seem to beneficiate larger areas (EIP‐AGRI, 2016). This is associated with a problem for a long time detected in the design of AEMs as farmers, whose usual farming procedures already please AEMs' requirements, tend to participate more in the program than other farmers, although those are the real target of the policy (Bertoni et al, 2019).…”

“…Agricultural businesses that lack access to more Land must have other types of environmental incentives to participate, for example, in organic farming since it allows to optimize the use of resources, contributing to their sustainable development (Chmielinski et al, 2019). In the same way, due to the consumers' increasing interest in what is traditional, more incentives to geographical indications must be given to traditional small farms, as they promote not only agricultural production but also countryside conservation, preserving traditions in rural areas (Colombo & Perujo‐Villanueva, 2017; Hajdukiewicz, 2014).…”

“…In general, it is believed that social, economic, and psychological factors have affected the decisions of farmers to convert to organic farming (BOLWIG; GIBBON & JONES, 2009;DAXINI et al, 2019;DESSART;BARREIRO-HURLÉ & VAN BAVEL, 2019;HOME et al, 2018). These factors are comprised of maintenance of family farm (BOUTTES; DARNHOFER & MARTIN, 2018), the farm's characteristics (CHMIELINSKI et al, 2019), the farm's economic potential (KERSELAERS et al, 2007), environmental concerns (MEIER et al, 2015), employment potential (FINLEY et al, 2018), reduction of nitrogen and pesticide use (MULLER et al, 2017), maintenance of the family farm's ecological balance (NELSON & STOCK, 2018), provision of healthy food for the family (KASHIF et al, 2020), and protection of local biodiversity from further degradation (CHAPPELL & LAVALLE, 2011). Other studies have demonstrated that farmers are motivated to adopt organic production not only for economic and financial reasons (LUND; HEMLIN & LOCKERETZ, 2002& PADEL, 2001, but also for health, ideological and philosophical reasons (RIGBY;YOUNG & BURTON, 2001;WILIER & GILLMOR, 1992).…”
