Materials and methods: The research is based on both the analysis of existing data and the results of the study (Individual In-depth Interviews - IDIs and Focus Group Interview - FGI) carried out in 2016 with organic farmers and organic farming stakeholders incl. representatives of local government and non-governmental organizations. Results: The study shows a positive correlation between high level of social capital and a strong sector of organic farming. The key significance is given to a local leader activity. Conclusions: The development of a close network of social relations between organic farmers, and between organic farmers and their environment (representatives of local government and non-governmental organizations) determines the development of a strong sector of organic farming in the area. An important condition for the organic farming development is also recognition of this type of resources by the local authorities.","PeriodicalId":39877,"journal":{"name":"Regional and Sectoral Economic Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"127-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81582888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A particular way of farming that is the most environmental friendly is ecological farming. Lublin Voivodeship has a special predisposition to the development of organic production (Kasztelan 2010). Conclusions: A valuable element of environmental friendly farming are Fabaceae plants. Their cultivation does not threaten the natural environment, as on Agrotechnik these plants consists of little treatments.

Based on secondary sources the noticeable tendency of changes in the agricultural counselling system in Poland have also been defined. Results : In this paper special attention has been paid to the need of creating such an agricultural extension system in which all the institutions and organizations forming it would have conditions to develop effective forms of cooperation aimed at the development of rural areas. Conclusions : Since agricultural extension centres are not able to perform all the tasks imposed on them there appears a chance for the new entities, e.g. private consulting firms.-----Przedmiot i cel pracy: Celem artykulu jest przedstawienie wybranych aspektow doradztwa rolniczego w Polsce jako jednego z wazniejszych ogniw transferu wiedzy wplywających na rozwoj rolnictwa i obszarow wiejskich.

The study included selected administrative-political and economic institutions of Wielkopolska. It was determined whether and to what extent these mechanisms operate in support of activities aimed at bio-economy development. It was found that the biggest, targeted support in this area is offered by Nickel Technology Park, Poznan Science and Technology Park, Centre of Excellence “Food Biotechnology” and the Foundation for Academic Entrepreneurship. In the future, extensive support for bio-economy can be expected from Wielkopolska Centre for Advanced Technology which is in the start-up phase. In other institutions, such support is provided equally to other areas of business and scientific research or it is of no particular interest to the institution. The study does not exhaust the catalogue of the bio-economy support institutions in the region of Wielkopolska. At their present stage a slight targeting of support mechanisms was noted for the activities in the field of bio-economy.

The synthetic meter that has been created, allowed to measure and classify the effects according to the provinces of Poland. The highest level of the bioeconomic development in 2011-2012 was attained in the Pomeranian voivodeship, by contrast in Opole Voivodeship, Silesia Voivodeship and Łodź Voivodeship the level of bioeconomic development was the lowest. The research conducted has shown that there exist some substantial discriminating features that contribute to bioeconomic development in the particular provinces.
