Dochodowość gospodarstw ekologicznych a wielkość użytków rolnych

Three yearly analysis of farm accountancy data from certified organic farms with various utilized agricultural area (UAA) shows that the more UAA farmers use, the worse production effectiveness they attain, however the higher level of income they reach due to the subsidizing. In farms with 20 ha of UAA and more the amount of subsidies was in general higher than the income per farm. The biggest farms (more than 50 ha of UAA) are in particularly profitable position due to the UAA entitled to subsidies. However, in these farms production intensity was approximately 3-fold lower than in smallest farms (5-10 ha of UAA). Thereby, land productivity was also over 3-fold lower. It is of high importance that land productivity was significantly diverse in different groups of farms, though soil quality was very similar (by the way quite poor). In farms of smaller areas there were 2-3-fold more livestock, which was advantageous for the soil richness.
