The aim of the paper is to characterise Polish individual farms in terms of compliance of their characteristics with definition of the family farm that is used in socio-economic sciences. The main source of the analysed data were surveys conducted in intervals of several years (most recently in 2011) in the same 76 villages across Poland. The sampling of villages for the surveys was deliberately selected to make the characteristics of the analysed farms proportional to the actual structure of agricultural holdings in Poland, both at the national level and across regions. It was found that Polish individual farms (ie. those operated by natural person and with total area of agricultural land of 1 ha and more) fully meet the eligibility criteria for the group of family farms. However, the fragmentation of agrarian structures in most cases does not allow them to achieve income parity and therefore their economic functions are limited.

Scattered agrarian structure remains a weakness of Polish agriculture. According to data from the Central Statistical Office Agricultural Census 2010, in the last eight years the number of agricultural holdings decreased by ca.one fifth. The aim of the paper is to define a significance of market land turnover in the process of changes of farms’ area structure. Factors influencing demand-supply situation on the land market, in particular the impact of Common Agricultural Policy and the direct payments, were analysed. The tendencies in non-market family land transfer were presented as well. In this context, the trends in agrarian changes observed in the years 2000-2011 were described.
