“…Sustainable development is understood as building a sustainable and competitive economy that effectively uses its resources, whose goal is to draw on innovative processes and technologies [86,87]. Sustainable development consists in such use and conservation of natural resources and in such orientation of technologies and institutions as to achieve and maintain the satisfaction of human needs of present and future generations [88]. In the definition of sustainable development, H. Komiyama and K. Takeuchi emphasize, along with the elimination of growth barriers, environmental protection and the possibility of renewing resources, which is particularly important in new global conditions [89].…”

In the modern state, the role and importance of communes is growing. They can carry out their tasks when equipped with stable and efficient sources of income. Financial resources are the basis for the operation and implementation of current and development tasks. Their analysis makes it possible to assess the budget structure and provides information on the state of the local economy or endogenous growth potentials. The aim of the article is to assess the diversity of the financial situation of rural communes using a synthetic measure. In addition, using the econometric models, the impact of socio-economic factors on the diversity of the measure of synthetic financial situation was examined. In order to build synthetic measures, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution method and based on distance in real space with Euclidean metrics were used. The aggregated value of the synthetic variable facilitates the comparison of objects in multidimensional spaces, but also makes it possible to order them due to the examined phenomenon. Empirical data were collected in spatial terms of 484 rural communes in the Eastern Poland region. In the case of municipalities, the choice of variables was largely determined by the availability of secondary data collected in a municipal system at the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office for 2009–2018. The analysis showed that the rural communes of eastern Poland are characterized by significant disproportions in terms of financial standing. Rural communes with the best financial condition were characterized by a higher share of own revenues in total revenues, a higher level of income from local taxes and obtained from the share in the tax on natural and legal persons. It seems that the main reason for the relatively small impact of financial conditions on economic and social development is their strong dependence on transfer revenues transferred from the state budget and the amount of current expenditure. The above circumstances stiffen and stabilize the financial economy, making it relatively less susceptible to the influence of other factors. The obtained results may constitute for the local authorities an important source of information on the disproportions occurring between units on setting out potential directions for optimizing the structure of local finances.

“…On the example of the EU, one can note the problems associated with subsidizing agricultural enterprises within the framework of a common agricultural policy. Larger farms have benefited the most over smaller farms [42]. This, in turn, excessively increased the level of social differentiation in rural areas.…”

Modern features of the development of the agro-industrial complex as part of the economy as a whole require changes in the traditional models of state regulation, which do not take into account the structure of rental income in the economy and do not use the capabilities of the relevant instruments. This is reflected in the insufficient efficiency of subsidies provided by the state to agricultural enterprises and the preservation of high social and infrastructural differentiation of the regions, as well as the dependence of the agricultural sector on the pricing policy of other industries. All this is shown by the example of the analysis of statistical data of regions of the Russian Federation for 2011–2019. To eliminate these problems, theoretical and methodological approaches have been developed, which made it possible to substantiate the concept of regulating the sustainability of agricultural relations through the synthesis of the theory of sustainability, the theory of systems, and rental theory. Within the concept the role of the structure of rental income in the formation of sustainability of agrarian relations, in their qualitative content, and in the redistribution of added value from the agrarian sphere in monopolized spheres is revealed. The possibility and necessity of state regulation of the agrarian sphere on the basis of dynamic regulation of the sustainability of agrarian relations with the help of management of the rent mechanism is substantiated.

“…The research demonstrated that this payment would particularly increase the average level of support for agricultural holdings in central and central-east Poland. Smędzik-Ambroży [45] researched the influence of the subsides on the level of socio-economic sustainability of farms in Poland. They concluded that the impact of subsidies was uneven in various economic size classes of farms-the strongest farms benefited the most, which means that social sustainability in terms of the distribution of income has not been achieved.…”

Regional Differences in Benefits from the EU Common Agricultural Policy in Poland and Their Policy Implications

Although the beneficial impact of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the stabilization on farming income is undisputable, the distribution of benefits derived from the CAP between operators and regions gives rise to some controversy. The objective of this paper was to estimate regional differences in the benefits derived from the Common Agricultural Policy in Poland based on the partial equilibrium model of the European Union (EU) agricultural sector with simulated interventions. The expectations of farmers from different regions of Poland were represented as a non-cooperative game to define vectors of change in the agricultural policy. The theory of moves was applied to set the game between different groups of farmers. Our results demonstrate that both the 1st and the 2nd pillars of the CAP were more profitable to farmers from regions with a more advantageous agrarian structure and a higher agricultural potential compared to their peers from the regions with a fragmented agriculture. However, considering long-term development objectives of the Polish agriculture, the theory of moves outcome argues against compensating for these differences by increasing redistributive payments to farmers in less favorable regions. To prevent widening of regional differences and ensure the social and economic development of rural areas in regions with less favorable agrarian structures where agriculture is currently unable to compete, it would be critical to enhance conditions for alternative types of economic activities.
