“…Nexus thinking could support ex-ante assessments of prospected changes in policies, plans and projects looking at response mechanisms in a manner that enables the mutual co-adaptation of corresponding instruments and intervention alternatives. As an example, spatial plans at the national or NUTS III/II level could be much better harmonized with (structural) funding programs for regional and rural development such as EFRD (European Fund for Regional Development) or EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development) and thus contribute to territorial cohesion as one of the key EU policy objectives (Crescenzi et al 2015).…”

“…Therefore, one of the prerequisites for the attainment of the defined goals is the farmers' interest in participating in the program. Current research on rural population interest in the CAP development programs [45][46][47][48] reveals that socioeconomic and structural characteristics affect the capacity of individual areas to attract the funds. [49][50][51][52] found spatial context to be of considerable significance to the overall rural entrepreneurial process.…”

With a gradual shift towards sustainable rural development, farm diversification has recently gained importance in EU policy. To increase the efficiency of policies aiming to support farm diversification, it is of crucial importance to know the factors motivating farmers to diversify. The purpose of this paper was to research spatial determinants of farm diversification in Poland by identifying and describing territorial clusters of rural areas (municipalities), in which farmers’ interest in diversification is above or below the national average. The Moran’s global spatial autocorrelation coefficient was used to test for spatial autocorrelation, while the local Moran’s statistic served to group together municipalities which exhibited a level of the frequency of applying for diversification support above/below the average value for the entire territory covered by the analysis. Furthermore, the clusters were described with the use of synthetic characteristics of the Polish agriculture and rural areas. The existence and characteristics of clusters suggest that the policy toward diversification in Poland favors areas of better developed agricultural structures. In clusters with structural disadvantages where diversification is most needed, the program’s performance has been very modest. However, our analysis also revealed the existence of outlier municipalities which demonstrated outstanding performance in applying for diversification funds despite structural disadvantages. These observations suggest that the farmers’ interest in diversification may be driven by a number of additional factors beyond a structural disadvantage alone.

“…It would be the best for rural development if cohesion policy and CAP worked in tandem and offered comprehensive and mutually strengthening measures. Yet, they still require more coordination to cover all the aspects of rural development that require support [Crescenzi et al 2011]. However, we can see that there is more and more holistic planning at the country level where specific decisions have to be made on how to divide the funds among needs, regions and available policy instruments.…”

Rural areas in Poland are underdeveloped in comparison to urban areas and lag much behind their counterparts in the EU-15. Thus, there is still a need to support their development to accelerate their socioeconomic convergence with better-off parts of the EU. Rural development is part of CAP objectives, but it is also supported from cohesion policy, especially as part of regional development. The analysis presented tries to assess which of these policies is better suited to support rural development in Poland. The research is based on document analysis and meta-evaluation of earlier studies. The results show that rural development measures within the CAP and instrument under cohesion policy are generally complementary to one another. However, there is much room for closer cooperation between the two policies to enlarge their positive impact on rural development. It seems that CAP can be regarded as better suited for rural development as it is directly devoted to rural areas. Yet, it is still too agriculture-orientated and thus it offers insufficient amount of resources and not enough instruments for other sectors of rural economy.
