The functioning of various agroecosystems is nowadays shaped by different farming systems, which may impair their functions, as well as being beneficial to them. The benefits include ecosystem services, defined as economic and noneconomic values gained by humans from ecosystems, through supporting soil formation and nutrient circulation, and the impact of agriculture on climate and biodiversity. Their mutual flow and various disturbances depend on the agroecosystem’s management method, which is associated with the type of management of agricultural land (AL) in individual farms. This paper raises a problem of transformation in the structure of three main farming systems in Poland, in 2004–2018, in relation to the implementation of 16 selected ecosystem services and their scale. Special attention was given to organic farming, as the most environmentally friendly and sustainable. The analysis demonstrates the increase in ALs in that type of production during the analyzed period of time. Disparities of transformation associated with the type of agricultural system were noticeable at the regional level, which were presented in 16 Polish voivodeships. The results of the analysis confirm that the organic system, which is an important carrier of various ecosystem services, gained a stable position. Moreover, areas with integrated farming still do not exceed 0.5% of total agricultural lands in such voivodeships. The analysis of factors influencing the deterioration or disappearance of selected environmental services characterizing agricultural systems indicates the need to depart from an intensive conventional management system.

As a consequence of increasing air pollution, the European Commission has decided to introduce special directives laying down the measures to achieve climate and energy neutrality. Renewable energy (RE) sources play an important role in the pursuit of these goals, which has been taken into account in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The aim of this article is to describe patterns and trends in the achievements of the energy policy of European Union (EU) countries in the field of renewable energy in sustainable development. The identification of leaders in this field gives the possibility to analyse actions taken by the governments of these countries and the possible implementation of the introduced solutions on the ground of individual Member States at the regional and national levels. At the beginning Main goal of energy policy on the field of renewable energy sources (RES) is to increase production from environmentally friendly sources that is why trends were determined in order to assess the rate of achievement of the national target for changes the share of energy from renewable sources in total gross energy consumption. Groups of similar countries were then identified on the basis of three indicators corresponding to the targets set in the climate and energy package. In the group of analysed countries, 14 have achieved the 2020 targets and 4 have exceeded the 2030 targets. The main renewable energy sources (RES) are biofuels, wind, and hydropower. In the assessment of the achievement of energy policy targets, the best situation was observed in the case of Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. These countries have significantly increased the share of renewable energy in total energy consumption. Compared to other EU countries, they have reduced the economy’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions the most.

The paper presents the changes in the spatial structure of agricultural holdings in the European Union between 2010 and 2016 from the perspective of typological groups of countries. The research was conducted based on Eurostat data. The holdings were divided into the following groups: up to 5 ha of agricultural land (AL), 5–20 ha, 20–50 ha, and over 50 ha. Based on the fuzzy classification method, 4 typological groups of countries with a similar spatial structure of holdings were distinguished. The intergroup diversity is high. The dynamics of changes in the number of holdings in particular countries per typological group was presented. A downward trend in the total number of holdings and smallholdings was observed, in particular in countries characterised by a fragmented structure of holdings. In these countries, an upward trend in the number of holdings of 20–50 ha and over 50 ha was noted. Between 2010 and 2016, the structure and composition of typological groups changed. There were also slight changes (in different directions) in the structural distance between the groups.

The aim of the article is to evaluate the economic situation of food sector enterprises listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. For the purposes of the study a synthetic indicator was used. It was formulated with the use of classic financial analysis indicators and the Multidimensional Comparative Analysis instrument. The analysis covered the following groups of ratios: accounting liquidity, indebtedness, profitability, productivity and turnover. The indicator enabled the evaluation of the situation of companies on the basis of financial data from the last five years and the presentation of findings in the form of a single synthetic variable. The resulting ranking of companies demonstrated the biggest differences in profitability values. Food sector public companies are characterised by financial soundness and indicators show that such public companies are in a better situation than other companies in this sector. The analysis was carried out on the basis of operating results of food sector companies in the period of 2014-2018.

The purpose of this paper was to present results of the surveys according to opinions of Malopolska’s agricultural farms’ owners about amount and age of machines working in those holdings. The research included size of the farms and type of specialization. The analysis was conducted among 144 individual farm owners in 2017 year. According to surveyed people after integration with UE the advantage in investment in polish agriculture occurred, many farmers have bought tillage units, which are not older than 10 years. Almost 60% handling machinery, cold stores and vans in surveyed Malopolska farms are new, bought not later than 10 years ago. Among the oldest machines there are combine harvesters, on average their age is 15, but 30% of respondents owned machines which had over 20 years. Most respondents think that their farms are sufficiently or even well equipped with the requisite equipment, nevertheless they plan to purchase used equipment.

The paper presents the results of the surveys carried out in 2017 in 144 farms located in the Małopolska province. The results of these studies contain information about the number, the engine horsepower and the age of tractors working in these farms, taking into account farm size and the type of specialization. The test results indicate clearly that the higher horsepower tractors, the lower is their age. Most tractors up to 40 HP is in use for more than 20 years. The oldest machines are used in the small farms with the area less than 10 ha.
