Abstract
In the paper farmers’ opinions about usefulness of specified methods of risk reduction (on the farm level) depending on farmers’ attitude towards risk have been presented. Relevance of application of specified methods has been discussed as well. The results of empirical research revealed that higher level of risk acceptance is positively correlated with implementation of “active” methods of risk reduction. In the case of farmers with higher level of risk acceptance, higher level of risk perception has been observed as well.
