Title	Determinants of Use of Climate Change Adaptation Practices by Rice Farmers in Kebbi State, North-West Nigeria
Słowa kluczowe	climate change, smallholder farmers, Nigeria, climate adaptation, adoption, livelihoods
Key words	climate change, smallholder farmers, Nigeria, climate adaptation, adoption, livelihoods
Abstrakt	Rice productivity and sustainability are threatened by both biotic and abiotic stresses, the effects of which can be further aggravated by dramatic changes in global climate. The most viable option for rice farmers is to use climate change adaptation practices. This study therefore investigated the determinants of use of climate change adaptation practices among rice farmers in Kebbi State, North-West, Nigeria. Data were collected from a sample of 279 farmers selected using a multistage sampling procedure. The results of the data analysis revealed that the farmers used improved rice varieties, intercropping, recommended rates of fertilizers and other chemicals as climate change adaptation practices among others. Education, climate change awareness, and extension contact significantly influenced the use of climate change adaptation practices among the farmers. Other determinants of use of climate change adaptation practices among the farmers were years of cooperative membership, affordability, farming experience, weather information and farm size. It was concluded that use of climate change adaptation practices was determined by socioeconomic, institutional and technological characteristics. It is recommended among others that government policy should be geared towards encouraging the farmers especially the younger ones to acquire more formal education, larger farmlands and more climate change awareness.

Tytuł	Luminarze finansów agrobiznesu, stan obecny i perspektywy
Title	Luminaries of agribusiness finance, state of the present and prospects
Słowa kluczowe	luminarze, finanse, agrobiznes
Key words	luminaries, finance, agribusiness
Abstrakt	Celem artykułu było zebranie dorobku luminarzy finansów agrobiznesu oraz wskazanie na bieżące i przyszłe kierunki badań. Geneza finansów agrobiznesu – odrębnego obszaru badań w stosunku do finansów w ogóle – ma swoje umocowanie w specyfice podmiotów funkcjonujących w sferze agrobiznesu. Poczynając od rozważań koryfeuszy finansów agrobiznesu, poprzez prowadzone na przełomie wieków XX i XXI badania, nie udało się rozstrzygnąć wszystkich wątpliwości z obszaru podejmowania decyzji finansowych i ich skutków w rolnictwie. Nadal pozostaje szerokie pole badawcze – a wręcz wraz ze wzrostem tempa przemian w gospodarce w skali makro, jak i w świecie – pojawia się coraz więcej wątpliwości dotyczących rozstrzygnięć dedykowanych przedsiębiorcom rolnym. Rysuje się zatem szeroki zakres badawczy, który można byłoby określić jako finanse agrobiznesu, nacechowany specyfiką, w tym szczególnie uzależnieniem produkcji od gospodarowania z organizmami żywymi, silnym uzależnieniem od czynników przyrodniczych, czy ograniczoną mobilnością społeczeństwa z terenów wiejskich.
Abstract	The aim of this article was to collect the achievements of luminaries of agribusiness finance and to indicate current and future research directions. The origin of finance of agribusiness – a separate area of research in relation to finance in general – has its anchorage in the specificity of entities operating in the sphere of agribusiness. Starting from the debates of coryphaeus of agribusiness finance, through the research conducted at the turn of the 20th and 21st century, all the uncertainties surrounding the financial decision-making and their effects on agriculture have not been resolved. There is still a wide field of research – and even with the increase in the pace of change in the macro-economy and in the world – more and more doubts arise about the decisions dedicated to agricultural entrepreneurs. There is therefore a wide range of research that can be identified as agribusiness finances, characterized by specificities, including the dependence of production on livelihoods, strong dependence on natural factors, and limited mobility of rural populations.

Tytuł	Zmiany sytuacji dochodowej polskich rodzin na wsi po akcesji do Unii Europejskiej
Title	Changes of income situation of Polish rural families after EU accession
Słowa kluczowe
Key words
Abstrakt	The paper presents income situation of Polish rural households in 2005 –2012. The research material came from unpublished empirical studies of Central Statistical Office . Changes of income level and structure of main income sources of the livelihoods were presented. Growing importance of wage from off-farm jobs and a decline of the share of income from agriculture was observed. The author indicated differences in the economic situation of the population living in rural areas and of individual incomes of the families, which suggests the need of checking the activities of the regional policy in relation to rural areas. Conclusions from the analysis are confirmed by the answers of the respondents. According to them, “very good” and “good” levels of income in rural families (over 18% in 2012) came from all sources, including social benefits. Declining share of expenditures reflects positive trends in Polish rural areas after EU accession as well as possibilities of further structural and social changes in rural areas.
