The supply of ecological products in the European Union is lower than the existing demand. Therefore, food produced with the help of organic methods is being imported from outside the Union. The growing support for pro-environmental activities in agriculture creates prospects for the development of ecological production in Poland. An instrument serving the implementation of the EU agricultural policy in this respect is the Agro-ecological Programme within which payments designed to support the development of organic farming have been introduced.

For more than twenty years now European agricultural policies have been striving, among other things, to support environment-friendly agriculture able to protect the natural landscape and contribute to the multifunctional development of rural areas. Assistance programmes designed to support various agricultural-environmental ventures, organic farming included, are based on the voluntary participation of farmers. From the point of view of the effectiveness of such programmes factors that encourage farmers to participate in their implementation are important. Studies have revealed a number of such factors, including those that characterize the assistance programmes themselves, the farmers (their code of values and their attitudes), the farms and external conditions. However, an analysis of the results of conducted research has not indicated in a clear way which of these factors are decisive for the change of methods of running a farm. In addition, the effectiveness of programmes addressed to farmers is understood not only in a behavioural way but also as a mental change. Dynamic models, which relate to the changes in mentality and attitudes, and the theory of innovation make it possible to explain some inconsistencies in the results of research concerning factors essential for the change in the methods of running a farm. It seems that factors which play an important role in Poland include: uncertainty stemming from the instability of policies, which is utilised by farmers at the time of taking decisions, and a cascading effect brought about by the appearance of effective actions in the situation of uncertainty.

The article describes the impact of globalisation processes on changes in organic agriculture and the market of food articles produced with the help of organic methods. An analysis of changes occurring in organic agriculture shows that it has undergone an essential transformation over the past two decades turning from agriculture having a local character into a sector linked through more and more numerous ties to the global system both in the sphere of production and in the sphere of distribution and consumption. In the last several years the emerging agro-food sector has become covered by the principal components of the global policy consisting of uniform legal regulations, a certification and accreditation system and in a large measure also by uniform principles of the international trade in ecological products. Still in the 1960s and in the 1970s most countries were applying their own national criteria to organic farming, and the production, distribution and consumption of food produced with the help of organic methods had a predominantly local character. In the following years the scale of the system's links began to increase steadily, with individual countries adopting uniform criteria of organic farming. Nearly all countries of the world have been gradually included in the international trade in products supplied by organic agriculture

The Miechowski district - as the majority of rural areas in Poland, is characterised by stagnation that leads to negative economic and social phenomena. Development problems caused by mono-functional economy that operates on the basis of traditional, conservative and unprofitable agriculture make it necessary to search for new directions of stimulating economic activities. The authors claim that the district's development opportunities lie in its great potential of attractive natural and environmental conditions - especially in terms of agriculture, landscape, historical-social background, raw materials and geothermal conditions. This potential, utilised in accordance with global trends and the principle of sustainable and ecological development, will contribute to the stimulation of economic activity in two areas: of organic agriculture and of ecological tourism (agro-tourism included) and recreation. Such directions of development will, on the one hand, make it possible to continue the farming traditions allowing the local population to preserve its hitherto vocation and, on the other hand, will contribute to the creation of new, related sectors of economic activity (processing, distribution, services, education), which suits perfectly the currently promoted model of multifunctional development of rural areas. An analysis of development opportunities of the Miechowski district suggests that the launching of the proposed range of economic activities will produce - despite some barriers, positive results in the form of sustainable economic development and that the latter will stimulate the development of social infrastructure.

The aim of this paper is to compare the production and economic results of organic and conventional farms. The analyzed results show that organic farms record a far lower level of the production of grain, potatoes, oil plants, slaughter pigs and poultry than conventional farms but are characterized by a higher level of the production of vegetables, fruit and protein plants than the latter. Organic farms bear considerably lower production costs than conventional farms, which contributes to the achievement of similar economic results by the two groups of farms. Direct payments to the production activity of organic farms significantly increase the level of their incomes.

This review deals with the influence of organic farming, as well as with the effects the conversion of conventional to ecological farming systems have had on the quality of soil and biodiversity. Organic farming is defined as a system in which crop and animal production must be balanced, and all means of production needed for plant and animal breeding are produced within the farm. Organic farming prohibits the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers, therefore is widely perceived as being more environmentally friendly than conventional farming. Organic farming is also identified with the production of high quality food, with the improvement of animal welfare, as well as associated with rural development. This type of farming aims to sustain the quality and fertility of soil and to maintain key ecological soil functions. The presented overview shows that organic farming leads to higher soil quality and more biological activity in soil than conventional farming. A growing number of studies also show that organic farming can have a positive effect on ecosystems by increasing biological diversity and by a diversification of the agricultural landscape. This is to prevent the loss of the natural habitat of many wild plant and animal species.

Organic production is on the upswing, owing to consumer preferences for safer products manufactured with environmentally friendly methods. It is frequently promoted to achieve economic development, poverty alleviation, and female empowerment. Crowdfunding is considered an ideal mechanism for mobilizing financial resources for people with limited access to traditional sources, such as women. This paper aims to analyse the gender gap in organic farming crowdfunding and estimate which characteristics foster the likelihood of crowdfunding success in organic production campaigns. We used a sample of crowdfunding campaigns from the Kickstarter platform and employed a binary logistic regression model to investigate the main research question. Our findings show that the crowd primarily supports gender-mixed teams. We also found that having more information about the campaign and project quality, a more realistic goal, and a shorter campaign duration increases the likelihood of succeeding. This paper contributes to the growing literature and policy initiatives to promote and develop gender equality in crowdfunding.

This is the first sociological study of development of organic farming in Poland, based on interprative paradigm and methodology of grounded theory. The basis of the study form 27 narrative and unstructured interviews with organic farmers from many regions of Poland, direct observation and content analysis of publications on organic farming. The central question is about the essence of organic farming. Is it a profession like any other or a social movement? What are the distinctive factors that can help in differantiating an organic farmer from the 'conventional' one? What factors form the social world of organic farming, what kind of arenas of disputes emerge?
