The aim of the elaboration was to determine the development of organic farms
in Poland. We deliberately selected four voivodeships to this research: Dolnośląskie,
Małopolskie, Mazowieckie and Zachodniopomorskie. The research proved that in all voivodeships
basic development s of organic production were fodder crops, with meadows
and pastures, usually connected with one or several types of organic production. In the
Małopolskie voivodeship, organic farms fit well in the system of sustainable development,
while in the remaining voivodeships no considerable relation between animal production
and fodder crops was recorded.
