      abstract = {In the European Union, the proportion of people employed  in agriculture is continuously decreasing.
In Poland,  nearly 15% of the actively employed population work in the  sectors of agriculture, forestry and
fishery, which is well  above the European average of around 5%. This ratio is 5.1%  in Hungary. Besides the
decrease of the percentage of  people employed in agriculture, a low proportion of young  farmers can also
be observed. In order to ensure alignment  with the strategy Europe 2020: smart, sustainable and  inclusive
growth, the pillar of rural development of the  Common Agricultural Policy will be based on six priorities  in
the fields of agriculture, forestry and food processing.  Apart from achieving these goals, young  agricultural
producers will be performing a prominent role  as the engagement of young people in the agrarian sector  is
indispensable for the future of the sector. In my study,  I examined the various reasons why young  agricultural
producers had started agricultural activities,  and to what extent they consider it their key task to  make
agriculture sustainable and to protect the land and  their environment.},
