The article deals with the problem of self-supplying farms, which account for two-fifths of all private farms operating in Poland. It is estimated that approximately 10% of the country's population is linked to self-supplying farms. These farms do not play any significant role on the market due to the low volume of production of marketable commodities. However, they have a considerable production potential, chiefly in the form of non-multipliable area of arable land. Basing on the data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS) the author of the article defines the values of the essential features of these farms. The main aim of the article is to provide arguments in support of the thesis that the group of self-supplying farms may have a relatively limited significance for the modernisation of Polish agriculture but it, nonetheless, plays an essential role in the implementation of the concept of sustainable development of rural areas. Thus, the approach to self-supplying farms envisaged by the agricultural policy ought to be different than the approach to farms producing goods for the market.

The industrial agriculture model is more and more criticized, most of all because of its external effects. Also its motive forces run out. This model is replaced with a sustainable agriculture model, which takes account of the limitations of natural resources, external costs and public good as well as social and economic objectives. Development of agriculture according to the sustainable agriculture model requires that the market mechanism be supplemented with the institutional (political) mechanism. This mechanism is developed within the common agricultural policy of the European Union. The model of sustainable agriculture corresponds to the new agricultural economics - a changed economic account covering, in addition to market 'items', other elements related to external costs and public goods created by agriculture. The globalisation process shifts the problems of agriculture to the global level, giving them a new dynamics and strongly influencing agriculture in individual countries. External forces more and more determine the functioning of agriculture, whereas the role of the institutional (political) factor is diminished, since globalisation in the political field lags behind the globalisation in the economy. This changes the development conditions of agriculture to the disadvantage of the sustainable agriculture model.

The last 150 years were characterized by a relatively fast growth of agricultural production, which ensured conditions for feeding - to an ever more adequate extent, the world's increasing population. Nonetheless, the phenomenon of hunger and inadequate nutrition still affects about one-seventh of the globe's population. It is generally believed that this phenomenon is attributable to poverty and not to the inability to produce the sufficient quantity of agricultural products as suggested by the permanent oversupply on the food markets which has been the reason for a more than 120-year long trend towards the relative decline in the prices of agricultural products. Currently, symptoms of change in this respect become observable. On the one hand, the demand for agricultural products grows fast and, on the other hand, essential supply limitations surface that are connected chiefly with intensifying environmental barriers and indispensable technological changes. These changes find reflection in the global agricultural trade and in the agricultural economics. This creates new chances for Polish agriculture through the utilisation of its considerable potential. The phenomena, described as globalisation, which strengthen these chances also lead to the emergence of some threats. Both the former and the latter have an essential meaning for Polish agriculture and should not be neglected by the architects of Polish agricultural policy.
