One of the elements of the Polish agriculture's adjustment to the principles of functioning within the frameworks of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union was the resolution of problems connected with assistance for agricultural activities in the areas characterised by unfavourable development conditions, including the adoption of criteria that make it possible to arrive at a proper stratification of individual areas. EU countries apply various methods to solve the problem. In Poland, and in its Podlaskie province, two criteria have been used to identify the areas possessing conditions unfavourable for the development of agriculture, namely the quality of agricultural production space and the size of the population. In accordance with these two criteria of classification all but three rural communes of Podlaskie province have been included in the group of areas with unfavourable development conditions. The article represents an attempt at providing an answer to the question whether the adopted classification criteria, shown against the background of other factors, including the structural-organisational ones, are essential for differentiating the agricultural space of Podlaskie province. .

The author of the article analyses the dependencies between the development of organic farming in Poland and conditions of major importance. The development of organic farming in Poland so far has not been satisfactory although the number of organic farms and their acreage has nearly trebled over the last two years. The evaluation of factors decisive for the development of organic farming in individual voivodeships has indicated that the most important of these factors are the natural conditions. The development of organic farming is also determined by other conditions, especially economic ones. Due to numerous barriers that organic farming encounters in Poland it will probably remain a specific segment of the market of agricultural production, satisfying the needs of a definite group of buyers. However, without the state's financial assistance organic farming in Poland can hardly be expected to achieve a higher rate of development.

The criteria for selecting backward agricultural areas used so far were distinguished in the elaboration. Podlaskie region was taken as an example because it was classified as a backward area under these criteria and many factors determining this category are cumulated in the region. However, the analysis of the criteria commonly used for selecting difficult agricultural areas showed that many of them become less and less important for diversifying the agricultural surface. Moreover, cumulation of these factors creates new quality and conditions for efficient and profitable farms well adjusted to the current socio-economic level of the region development. This phenomenon allows researchers to speak about evolution of the criteria used for selecting backward agricultural regions or about need for re-assessment of the criteria in general development process.
