One of weaknesses of the Polish agriculture is its fragmented agrarian structure, determinated by economic (low level of economic development, high volume of labour resources), social and cultural factors, resulting in the low competitiveness of that national economy sector. Aiming at production resources concentration in agriculture the Polish Parliament has passed in 2001 an Act on early retirement pensions scheme in agriculture. By its virtue farmers were entitled to transfer their holdings in 2002-2004 to other farms in exchange for the early retirement pensions. The paper aims at evaluation of impact of the early retirement pensions scheme on agrarian restructurisation in the Polish agriculture. The analyses show that the scheme in question did not fulfill the intended aims and functions (structural and social). The direct reason of that were a defective implementation of its mechanisms and disregardingo the economic, social and cultural determinants of the scheme on its preparatory stage

The article offers a spatial analysis of structural pensions, one of the measures of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) intended to improve the agrarian and demographic structure of agriculture. The analysis rests on the list of 65.5 thous. structural pensions as of mid-2010, made public by the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (AR&MA). They were subjected to the procedure of aggregation into commune-based units (number of pensions, their average amount, and share in the total number of agricultural holdings), and compared against spatial differences in the average area of an individually held farm. The analysis closes with an assessment of how structural pensions affected the size structure of farms in the years 2002–2010 (a regional approach relying on agricultural censuses) and with conclusions that can be drawn on this basis as to the effect of this EU Common Agricultural Policy instrument on the agrarian structure of Polish farming.

The qualitative and quantitative changes taking place in Polish agriculture in the last century proved exceptional in the entire history of Poland. They concerned agricultural production, as well as the number and location of the rural population. This article discusses the agricultural situation in the following periods: before the 1st World War, in the 2nd Republic of Poland, in the People's Republic of Poland, and in the recent transformation period after Poland's accession to the European Union. Based on the statistical data and literature available, the authors compare the number and living conditions of the population, the agrarian structure, the sowing structure, the crops, the livestock, and the productivity of animals, as well as the production methods and technologies in Polish agriculture in various historical periods.
