“…Cofinancing development projects, carried out by rural residents, receive support, and the application depends largely on how active the potential beneficiaries are. As opined by Smędzik-Ambro ży et al (2019) [13], the results of the previous programs also suggest that larger farms benefited more than smaller farms from pillar II, which also has the regional dimension [14][15][16]. The study by Matyka (2019) [17] disclosed that the implementation of the main environmental activities under the RDP 2014-2020 is largely differentiated on a regional level.…”

The Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union remains at the top tier of the union’s legacies with the aim of bequeathing a sustainable future for all. Series of actions geared towards reforming the environmental and climate goals of the CAP are constantly being taken. The objective of this paper is to verify if the environmental and climatic CAP measures proposed in Poland’s Strategic Development Plan for Agriculture, for the years 2023–2027, reflect farmers’ preferences regarding the structure of the CAP support. To achieve this goal, we model a hypothetical strategic game involving farmers from different regions. The outcomes of the game were derived from the ex-post analysis of EU funds, in the application for environmental and climatic CAP measures, in addition to the results of simulations of the partial equilibrium model for the agricultural sector (CAPRI). It was found out that farmers from regions with disadvantaged agrarian structures would find it more difficult to cope with new eco-schemes due to the fact that good agricultural practices are rather low in such regions. For the long-term development of Polish agriculture, the agrarian structures need to be improved, as this affects the emission of greenhouse gases. The varying preferences of farmers from different Polish regions in implementing eco-schemes can be balanced by increasing redistributive payments.

“…The development of organic farming in these regions displays many internal and external spatial factors. The meaningful organic farming crops in communes located in north-western Poland are determined by favorable local natural conditions, mainly rich soils and good water and climate conditions of the seaside and lake district areas [63]; lowland landscape [64]; favorable economic conditions in the form of the highest subsidies for ecological production in Poland in the framework of the Rural Development Program for 2007-2013 and 2014-2020 [65]; the proximity of the borderland and low level of industrialization [63]; relatively small distance to towns (not more than 50 km) [66]; and the quickly developing local fashion for so-called enotourism (wine tourism) [67]. Therefore, the region's communes specialize in growing cereals and pulses, industrial crops, including linseed, sunflower, medicinal plants and spices, and viticulture, as well as sheep and deer breeding.…”

Organic farming is one of the most widely known sustainable models of agricultural production. Success in eco-agriculture also depends greatly on agri-environmental, territorial, economic, social, institutional and spatial conditions. Polish eco-farming is very regionally dispersed and diversified. Regarding the important contribution of organic farming, a better understanding of how this phenomenon develops and which factors affect its spatial distribution can be influential for policymakers in planning strategies that pursue sustainable development objectives in rural areas. This paper assesses the development and analyses the spatial distribution of organic farming in Polish LAU-2. The country’s eco-agriculture was mapped and defined using a synthetic measure, described by 27 sub-measurements of ecological crop cultivation, animal maintenance and eco-production. The local spatial patterns (direction, scale, and range) of organic farming were detected by spatial autocorrelation measurements. The analysis was conducted for the period 2014–2020. Possible external and internal determinants of this spatial dispersion were also defined. The results indicate that the distribution and spread of organic farming in Poland are related to public support, institutional regulations, social considerations, environmental concerns, the local job market and spatial dependencies.

“…According to Kiryluk-Dryjska E. et al [16], the financial support for investments in agriculture increases the structural homogeneity of agricultural holdings and the consolidation of operators that manage to attract financing. The key factors resulting from the study in Poland are represented by access to financing, the size of the agricultural entity and the level of efficiency of the agricultural management.…”

Financing Romanian Agricultural Cooperatives’ Investments for the 2023–2027 Horizon

et al. 2023

Agriculture represents an important sector of the Romanian economy, with certain vulnerabilities under the current geo-political context and pedoclimatic changes with a direct impact upon food security at national and European levels. This paper analyzes the possibilities for revitalizing the Romanian agricultural sector, which was affected by the excessive inflation (especially via the price increases of fertilizers and fuels) and drought, both generating significant cereal and agricultural production losses. The current research highlights the main investment options for the managers of 219 Romanian agricultural cooperative companies, including the available financing alternatives. In our view, the investments realized within the agricultural cooperative companies support the creation and increase in value added and reduce specific risks, consolidating the role and status of agricultural producers within the food chain. The research evaluates the Romanian agricultural investment typologies and establishes a model of assessing these investments by correlating the information obtained from the questionnaire distributed. The research methods include analyzing the reference literature, building the database, collecting and processing the questionnaires’ observations, transforming the qualitative data into quantitative ones and modeling them with econometric instruments. The results obtained using the econometric model reveal the main investment directions to be integrating the production chains through economic association forms, including constructing and modernizing the warehouses, processing the primary products and obtaining higher value-added products, identifying various distribution channels, making the most of all available resources and focusing on digitalization, efficiency, circular economy and short supply chains. The study is of interest for the investors and managers of agricultural cooperative companies from Romania and Europe in view of securing sustainable development, enhancing the role of agricultural producers within the food chain and increasing efficiency of the agricultural activity, with a direct impact upon European food security.
