      abstract = {The human factor plays now an important role in the  development of agriculture and rural areas. The
importance  of human capital means that it is the main driving force of  competitive advantage, contributing to
the shaping of farms  on the market. The aim of study was to determine the  importance of human capital in the
shaping of economic  efficiency of dairy farms. Farms were assigned to groups  depending on the region, level
education or age of owners.  Among the managers of surveyed farms, more than a half  (52.27%) were people
with secondary (40.15%) or higher  education (12.12%). Farmers with primary education  constituted 5.3% of
the surveyed population. Net farm  income in group of farmers with higher education averaged  5030.94 PLN/
cow and 0.68 PLN/l milk. The lowest economic  efficiency was observed in farms whose owners had about  30
years ((2960 PLN/cow i 0.44 PLN/l milk). Agricultural  income of farmers over the age of 60 years averaged
4890  PLN/cow and 0.78 PLN/l milk. In conclusion, farmers having  higher education should know that they
have the highest  possibility to bring new solutions to agriculture, building  on what they learned during their
studies. They have the  highest knowledge about how to create multifunctional  development in rural areas.},
