Title	Assessment of Food Security in the East Kazakhstan Region
Słowa kluczowe	sustainability, agriculture, agri-food policy, food security
Key words	sustainability, agriculture, agri-food policy, food security
Abstrakt	The article assesses the food security of one region of Kazakhstan - the East Kazakhstan region. In the analyses, criteria such as the level of the region’s food independence, the degree of satisfaction of the population’s physiological needs in basic food, and the level of economic availability of food were applied. The research has shown that the food security in the East Kazakhstan region was at an acceptable level. However, some threats to food security were identified, including: a high level of income differentiation among the households of the East Kazakhstan region, an increase in the price index for food products, and a significant proportion of the population with incomes below the subsistence minimum. The results of the evaluation can be useful for creating agri-food policy measures that will ensure, maintain and improve the level of food security at both a regional and national level.

Słowa kluczowe	empowerment, poverty reduction, women farmers, Imbulpe, Sri Lanka
Key words	empowerment, poverty reduction, women farmers, Imbulpe, Sri Lanka
Abstrakt	Women empowerment and poverty reduction are interrelated key driving forces to achieve the sustainable development of a country. However, most of the women farmers in rural areas have lack of access to adequate assets and resources, credit facilities and freedom of decision making within the households. Therefore, women empowerment is a timely important requirement to reduce the household poverty among them. This study was conducted to identify the determinants of empowerment of women farmers and also roles of them in reduction of poverty in Imbulpe Divisional Secretariat (DS) Division in Sri Lanka. In this study, 238 women farmers were selected using simple random sampling method, from purposively identified seven Grama Niladhari (GN) divisions in this area. Primary data was gathered from a field survey using a pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire from May to July 2019. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis were used as the statistical methods in data analyzing process. The result revealed that, age, education, monthly income of the respondents, economic resource accessibility, participation in decision making and freedom of mobility act as the determinants of empowerment of women farmers. The moderately significant positive nature of relationship was showed between the age of the women farmers and their role in poverty reduction. And also, the level of education, monthly income, economic resources accessibility of the respondents and participation of decision making within the household of the women farmers were showed moderately significant positive relationship with their role in poverty reduction. Therefore, encourage women farmers as rural entrepreneurs while performing their farming practices to earn additional income, enhance economic resource accessibility and motivate women farmers to express their ideas for enhance the active participation in the household decision making process are timely important requirements to empower women farmers and enhance their role in poverty reduction.

Title	Poverty and its Alleviating Strategies among Rural Farming Households in Benue State, Nigeria
Słowa kluczowe	poverty, alleviating strategies, rural, farming household, Nigeria
Key words	poverty, alleviating strategies, rural, farming household, Nigeria
Abstrakt	The study analysed rural farming households’ poverty status and alleviating strategies in Benue State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to: describes the rural household heads’ socio-economic characteristics; determine the poverty status of the respondents and its determinants; and identify poverty alleviating strategies of the respondents. Data for the study was collected from 420 respondents selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measurement index, and the Binary Logistic regression model. The findings of the study revealed a very high incidence of poverty (70%), having a gap of 0.34, and severity of 0.17. Poverty in the area is positively associated with the age of the household head and household size, while gender, educational level, off-farm activity, membership of a group, farm size, and land ownership are negatively associated with poverty. The common poverty alleviation strategies identified were agricultural wage labour (48.6%), rental services (45.0%), and transportation business (36.7%). Therefore, it was recommended that the government and other stakeholders should initiate sustainable social protection schemes that can assist rural residents in alleviating poverty until their condition improves.

Tytuł	TAXATION OF AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY IN POLAND: THE CURRENT STATE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Title	Stan i perspektywy opodatkowania działalności rolniczej w Polsce
Słowa kluczowe	farm, agricultural activity, agricultural tax, forestry tax, property tax, income tax, revenue tax, level of income taxation, level of revenue taxation
Key words	gospodarstwo rolne, działalność rolnicza, podatek rolny, podatek leśny, podatek od nieruchomości, podatek dochodowy, podatek od przychodów, stopień opodatkowania dochodów, przychodów
Abstrakt	This study is a response to an ongoing debate on changes in the taxation of agricultural income. The current taxes applicable to farms in Poland do not concern income per se – they are property taxes which include: agricultural tax on land, forestry tax and property tax. Although these taxes do not refer to agricultural income, they are paid by it. It is important, therefore, to know how much this income is reduced by these taxes. Studies show that it is about 10%. Therefore, when a new income tax structure is introduced, its rate should not exceed 10%. The calculation of farm income in Poland will encounter many problems, such as establishing a catalogue of costs, which will include depreciation. In order to include it when calculating income, the present value of a farm’s fixed assets should first be established, which may encounter major substantive and organizational difficulties. More problems will surely follow, such as: dividing costs between household and agricultural holding, determining what a fixed asset is in the case of a farm, etc. It seems that calculating farm income is unavoidable. On the one hand, it is necessary for the potential introduction of income tax. On the other hand, having recognized the income situation of farms, one could resign from estimating losses caused by drought or other unfortunate events. Compensation could be granted due to income losses. This would be a clearer, more obvious and objective criterion. According to current practices, losses caused by unfortunate events (e.g. drought) do not always translate into losses in agricultural income, given that these losses are not always objectively estimated by the committees appointed by provincial governors. In the case of income losses, agricultural accounting data guarantee their objective appraisal. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the current situation regarding the taxation of agricultural activity and to present proposals for potential changes in the taxation of agricultural activity. Two research hypotheses were put forward: 1. the current level of taxation of income and revenue from agricultural activity with agricultural tax and property tax is symbolic, 2. in order to maintain the current tax treatment, the rate of the new tax on farm income cannot be higher than 10%. The article is based on descriptive, tabular and financial analysis methods. The sources of information were literature and FADN agricultural accounting data collected by the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – National Research Institute in Warsaw.
Abstract	Opracowanie wychodzi naprzeciw toczącym się dyskusjom w sprawie zmian opodatkowania dochodów pochodzących z działalności rolniczej. Aktualnie istniejące podatki, odnoszące się do gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce, nie odnoszą się do dochodów. Mają one charakter podatków majątkowych, do których należy: podatek rolny od gruntów, podatek leśny i podatek od nieruchomości. Podatki te mimo, że nie nawiązują do dochodów z działalności rolniczej, są z nich pokrywane. Ważnym jest jaką część tych dochodów pomniejszają. Z badań wynika, że jest to ok. 10%. Stąd ewentualnie we wprowadzanym nowym podatku od dochodów jego stawka nie powinna przekraczać 10%.Obliczanie dochodów gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce będzie napotykać na wiele problemów. Jednym z nich będzie ustalenie katalogu kosztów, do których zaliczać będzie się amortyzacja. Aby ją uwzględnić w obliczaniu dochodów, należy wcześniej ustalić wartość bieżącą środków trwałych, wchodzących w skład gospodarstw rolnych. Mogą temu procesowi towarzyszyć spore trudności merytoryczne i organizacyjne. To jeden z wielu problemów. Prawdopodobnie będą i inne. Zaliczyć do nich można: podział kosztów na gospodarstwo domowe i gospodarstwo rolne, ustalenie co jest środkiem trwałym w gospodarstwie rolnym itp. Wydaje się, że liczenie dochodów w gospodarstwach rolnych jest nie uniknione. Z jednej strony jest to niezbędne dla ewentualnego wprowadzeniu podatku dochodowego. Z drugiej strony mając rozpoznaną sytuację dochodową gospodarstw rolnych można by zrezygnować z szacowania strat spowodowanych przez suszę, czy innymi zdarzeniami losowymi. Tytułem otrzymania rekompensat byłyby straty dochodów. Jest to kryterium bardziej klarowne oczywiste i obiektywne. Dotychczasowa praktyka wskazuje, że nie zawsze straty spowodowane zdarzeniami losowymi (suszę) przekładają się na straty w dochodach rolniczych. Zważywszy, że straty te nie zawsze są obiektywnie szacowane przez powoływane przez wojewodów komisje. W przypadku strat w dochodach, dane rachunkowości rolnej są gwarantem ich obiektywnej oceny.Celem opracowania jest dokonanie oceny aktualnej sytuacji dotyczącej opodatkowania działalności rolniczej oraz przedstawienie propozycji ewentualnych zmian w opodatkowaniu działalności rolniczej. Przyjęto dwie hipotezy badawcze: 1. Aktualny stopień opodatkowania dochodów, przychodów z działalności rolniczej podatkiem rolnym, podatkiem od nieruchomości jest symboliczny, 2. Dla zachowania dotychczasowego ujęcia podatkowego stawka nowego podatku od dochodów gospodarstw rolnych nie może przekraczać 10%. W artykule wykorzystano metody analizy opisowej, tabelarycznej i analizy finansowej. Źródłem informacji była literatura oraz dane rachunkowości rolnej FADN gromadzone przez Instytut Ekonomiki Rolnictwa i Gospodarki Żywnościowej – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy w Warszawie.

Tytuł	Factors determining the tendency of rural households in Central Pomerania to save – PILOT study results
Title	Czynniki determinujące skłonność wiejskich gospodarstw domowych Pomorza Środkowego do oszczędzania - wyniki badania pilotażowego
Słowa kluczowe	rural household, propensity to save, income, Central Pomerania, Poland.
Key words	wiejskie gospodarstwo domowe, skłonność do oszczędzania, dochód, Pomorze Środkowe, Polska.
Abstrakt	The aim of this research is to identify factors affecting the propensity of rural households to save, on the example of 100 entities in Central Pomerania, based on pilot studies (direct questionnaire technique) using the logistic regression model. The study assumes that the dependent variable is the occurrence of savings in the household in 2018. The selection of independent variables for the logistic regression model was made on the basis of literature studies. The results of the analysis confirmed that statistically significant parameters for the variables were: average monthly net income per one person in the household, diversification of the income sources and the share of expenses on food and non-alcoholic beverages in total household consumption expenditure. The first two parameters increase the probability of saving by rural households of Central Pomerania. The last of these parameters reduces the chance of deferring consumption through savings.
Abstract	Celem badań jest identyfikacja czynników wpływających na skłonność do oszczędzania wiejskich gospodarstw domowych na przykładzie 100 podmiotów na terenie Pomorza Środkowego, w oparciu o wykonane badania pilotażowe (technika ankiety bezpośredniej), przy zastosowaniu modelu regresji logistycznej. W badaniu przyjęto, iż zmienną zależną jest występowanie oszczędności w gospodarstwie domowym w 2018 roku. Doboru zmiennych niezależnych do budowy modelu regresji logistycznej dokonano na podstawie przeprowadzonych studiów literaturowych. Wyniki analiz potwierdziły, iż statystycznie istotnymi parametrami przy zmiennych okazały się: przeciętny miesięczny dochód netto na jedną osobę w gospodarstwie domowym, dywersyfikacja źródeł utrzymania oraz udział wydatków na żywność i napoje bezalkoholowe w wydatkach konsumpcyjnych ogółem gospodarstwa domowego. Dwa pierwsze parametry zwiększają prawdopodobieństwo oszczędzania przez wiejskie gospodarstw domowe Pomorza Środkowego. Ostatni z wymienionych parametrów zmniejsza szansę na odroczenie konsumpcji w czasie w drodze oszczędności.

Title	Tendencje w zachowaniach współczesnych konsumentów żywności
Słowa kluczowe	consumption behaviour, conditions for consumption, food, food consumption, household.
Key words	zachowania konsumpcyjne, uwarunkowania konsumpcji, żywność, konsumpcja żywności, gospodarstwo domowe.
Abstrakt	The aim of the paper is to present the changes in the level and structure of food consumption in Poland during 2013-2017 from a macro and micro-economic perspective, based on CSO (Central Statistical Office) data gathered from national accounts and household budgets. Analysis of the data showed that in an improved economic climate and significantly improved income situation households changed their preferences both in terms of the amount of food consumed as well as in the structure of consumption. Real expenditure on food increased despite reduced volume in consumption, with more eating out and less self-catering. The increase in the share of highly processed foods and more expensive products in the basket of foods contributed to the stabilisation of the share of expenditure on food as part of total household expenditure.
Abstract	Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zmian poziomu i struktury konsumpcji żywności w latach 2013–2017 z perspektywy makro- i mikroekonomii w oparciu o dane GUS zebrane z rachunków narodowych i budżetów gospodarstw domowych. Analiza danych wykazała, że w lepszej sytuacji gospodarczej i znacznie lepszej sytuacji dochodowej gospodarstwa domowe zmieniły swoje preferencje zarówno pod względem ilości spożywanej żywności, jak i struktury konsumpcji. Realne wydatki na żywność wzrosły pomimo zmniejszonej ilości konsumpcji, z większą ilością jedzenia i mniejszą wyżywieniem we własnym zakresie. Wzrost udziału wysoko przetworzonej żywności i droższych produktów w koszyku żywności przyczynił się do stabilizacji udziału wydatków na żywność w ramach całkowitych wydatków gospodarstw domowych.

Słowa kluczowe	food self-supply, consumption, prosumption, household, consumer trends.
Key words	samozaopatrzenie żywnościowe, konsumpcja, prosumpcja, gospodarstwo domowe, trendy konsumenckie.
Abstrakt	The article presents premises inscribing food self-supply in new trends occurring in consumer behavior and shows the opinions of consumers on food self-supply. The analysis used research conducted in 2017 in the Mazowieckie voivodship among representatives of rural households. Food self-supply is part of the concept of sustainable development and sustainable consumption. It is an example of the greening of consumption, and of conscious and collaborative consumption. The most important factors entering food self-supply into new consumer trends are natural and healthy food produced in accordance with sustainable development, care for health and the natural environment, cultivating traditions, but also product individualization related to the use of free time.
Abstract	W Artykule przedstawiono przesłanki wpisujące samozaopatrzenie żywnościowe w nowe trendy zachodzące w zachowaniach konsumentów oraz ukazanie opinii respondentów na temat samozaopatrzenia żywnościowego. W analizie wykorzystano badania własne przeprowadzone w 2017 roku w województwie mazowieckim wśród przedstawicieli wiejskich gospodarstw domowych. Samozaopatrzenie żywnościowe wpisuje się w koncepcję zrównoważonego rozwoju i zrównoważonej konsumpcji. Jest przykładem ekologizacji konsumpcji, konsumpcji świadomej i kolaboratywnej. Najważniejsze czynniki wpisujące samozaopatrzenie żywnościowe w nowe trendy konsumenckie to naturalna i zdrowa żywność produkowana w zgodzie ze zrównoważonym rozwojem, dbałość zdrowie i stan środowiska przyrodniczego, kultywowanie tradycji, ale także indywidualizacja produktowa związana z wykorzystaniem czasu wolnego.

Słowa kluczowe	gospodarstwo domowe, typologia, rynek żywności, analiza wielowymiarowa, Polska, Słowacja
Key words	household, typology, food market, multidimensional analysis, Poland, Slovakia
Abstrakt	Dynamiczny rozwój rynku artykułów żywnościowych wymaga od przedsiębiorstw oraz instytucji odpowiedzialnych za politykę gospodarczą kraju ciągłego monitorowania zachowań głównego podmiotu konsumpcji na tym rynku, jakim jest gospodarstwo domowe. Jednym z rozwiązań jest prowadzenie zabiegów typologizacji. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników typologii gospodarstw domowych przeprowadzonych w Polsce i na Słowacji na próbie 900 gospodarstw domowych. Do delimitacji typów gospodarstw wykorzystano hierarchiczną (metoda Warda) i niehierarchiczną (metoda k-średnich) analizą skupień. W rezultacie w każdej podpróbie udało się wyodrębnić trzy typy gospodarstw domowych ze względu na ich zachowania na rynku żywności.
Abstract	The dynamic development of the food market requires enterprises and institutions responsible for the country's economic policy to constantly monitor the behaviour of the main consumption entity on this market, which is the household. One of the solution is to conduct typologisation procedures. The aim of the article is to present the results of household's typology conducted in Poland and Slovakia on a sample of 900 households. Hierarchical (Ward's method) and non-hierarchical (k-means method) cluster analysis was used to delimit households' types. As a result, three types of households were identified in each sub-sample by their behaviour on the food market.

Słowa kluczowe	efficiency, farmers, table grapes, South Africa, stochastic frontier model
Key words	efficiency, farmers, table grapes, South Africa, stochastic frontier model
Abstrakt	Table grape production plays an important role in the economy of many countries in Africa. It serves as a source of income for the people who are engaged in its production and being one of the enterprises that is labour-intensive, thereby providing employment for more people. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the economic efficiency of table grape production in Waterberg and Sekhukhune Districts of Limpopo province, South Africa. The study used primary data collected through administration of structured questionnaires on a sample of 12 farmers by employing a snowball sampling method. Analytical tools employed include descriptive statistics (such as tables and frequencies), Stochastic Frontier Model and Technical Inefficiency Model.Results from data analysis revealed that in terms of efficiency, farming experience (p<0.01), educational level (p<0.05), household size (p<0.10) and age of farmer (p<0.10) were associated with increased efficiency indicating that these factors play important roles in ensuring that resources used in the production of table grapes enhanced productivity and were not wasted. Also, technical efficiency among farmers was found to range from 0.8 to 1, with a mean of 0.89, thus implying a major possibility for improvement in production. However, the allocative efficiency was found to range from 0.47 to 1, with a mean of 0.68. This indicates that some farmers were finding it difficult to allocate their resources efficiently. Again, economic efficiency ranges from 0.56 to 1, with a mean of 0.73, an indication that most of the farmers were economically efficient. Meanwhile, some of the constraints faced by these farmers include high electricity bills and labour costs, water shortages as well as instability around land policy. The study therefore recommends capacity building of farmers through education and other skill enhancement programmes. Also, provision of incentives to encourage youth participation in farming through internship programmes is very important to increase farm productivity.

Key words	gray market, unobservable economy, tax fraud, effects of the gray economy
Abstrakt	Artykuł podejmuje problematykę szarej strefy. W pierwszej części została ujęta definicja szarej strefy w kontekście oszustw podatkowych oraz skala zjawiska w Polsce. W kolejnych przedstawione zostały negatywne i pozytywne skutki szarej strefy wymieniane w literaturze przedmiotu. W trzecim punkcie zaprezentowano fragmenty badań ankietowych dotyczących opisywanego problemu badawczego. W ostatniej części publikacji wskazano działania instytucjonalne oddziałujące na rozmiary szarej strefy w Polsce. Podstawowym celem niniejszej publikacji jest prezentacja pozytywnych i negatywnych konsekwencji występowania szarej strefy rozumianej jako oszustwo podatkowe i wskazania, które z nich przeważają w ocenie subiektywnej badanych podmiotów gospodarczych i gospodarstw domowych. W ramach artykułu zostały także zasygnalizowane rozwiązania instytucjonalne mające na celu ograniczyć badane zjawisko. Realizacja celu wymagała wykorzystania metod opisowo-statystycznych, a w szczególności analizy kształtowania się zakresu gospodarki nieobserwowalnej w Polsce i wybranych krajach. W artykule posłużono się badaniami ankietowymi z lat 2010-2019, w celu dokonania próby jakościowej oceny skutków zjawiska szarej strefy.
Abstract	The article addresses the issue of the gray economy. In the first part the definition of the shadow economy in the context of tax evasion and the scale of the phenomenon in Poland are included. The following shows the negative and positive effects of the gray economy listed in the literature on the subject. In the third part fragments of a questionnaire survey were described concerning the problem. In the last part of the article, institutional activities affecting the size of the shadow economy in Poland are presented. The main purpose of this publication is to present the positive and negative consequences of the shadow economy, understood as tax evasion, and indicate which consequences prevail in the subjective assessment of the surveyed business entities and households. The article also indicates actions aimed at limiting the studied phenomenon. The implementation of the objective required the use of descriptive and statistical methods, in particular analysis of the shape and scope of the unobservable economy in Poland and selected countries. The direct-questionnaire method was also used. The article uses fragments of author-conducted study from 2010-2019 in order to make a qualitative attempt to assess the effects of the gray zone phenomenon.

Title	Social policy implemented in rural municipality
Słowa kluczowe	polityka społeczna, „Rodzina 500+”, bezrobocie, aktywność zawodowa, przyrost naturalny, dochody dyspozycyjne
Key words	social policy, “Family 500+”, unemployment, activity in the labour market, birth rate, disposable income
Abstrakt	Polityka społeczna ma na celu w głównej mierze minimalizowanie problemów społecznych, a zwłaszcza dysproporcji dochodowych zarówno między grupami zawodowymi, jak i w ujęciu regionalnym. Jednym z przyjętych zadań analizowanej polityki jest wsparcie finansowe udzielane gospodarstwom domowym między innymi przez zagwarantowanie im poczucia bezpieczeństwa, zwłaszcza w zakresie dochodów. Przedmiotem badań było oszacowanie skuteczności polityki społecznej realizowanej w Polsce na przykładzie gminy wiejskiej. W opracowaniu podjęto próbę wskazania wymiernych efektów wprowadzonego w Polsce instrumentu polityki społecznej, jakim jest program „Rodzina 500+”. Wspiera on finansowo rodziny, polepszając ich sytuację materialną. Ponadto w założeniu jego twórców ma na celu poprawę współczynnika przyrostu naturalnego w Polsce. Zauważalne są również niedoskonałości analizowanego instrumentu polityki społecznej, który negatywnie wpływa na sytuację zawodową ludności, w szczególności kobiet. Jednak w większości program „Rodzina 500+” jest oceniany pozytywnie przez jego beneficjentów. Na podstawie odpowiedzi ankietowanych nie można stwierdzić, że jego wprowadzenie przyczyni się do przyrostu urodzeń, a według respondentów koszty z tym związane mogą przyczyniać się do ograniczania współfinansowania obszarów życia równie pożądanych przez społeczeństwo (edukacja, ochrona zdrowia, infrastruktura publiczna).
Abstract	Social policy primarily aims to minimise social problems, in particular the issues concerning income disparities amongst professional groups as well as regionally. One of the adopted objectives of the analysed policy is the financial support for households, including guaranteeing a sense of security, especially in terms of income. The subject of the study was to assess the effectiveness of social policy implemented in Poland on the example of a rural municipality. The study attempts to indicate the measurable effects of a social policy instrument implemented in Poland, specifically the “Family 500+” programme. The programme supports families by improving their financial situation. In addition, according to its creators, the objective of the programme is to increase the birth rate in Poland. The imperfections of the analysed social policy instrument are also noticeable. It negatively affects the employment situation in the country, particularly for women. However, in most cases, the “Family 500+” programme is positively rated by the beneficiaries. Based on the results of the conducted study, it cannot be concluded that the “Family 500+” programme contributes to the increase in the birth rate, while the costs of its implementation may contribute to limiting the cofinancing of other areas of life, ones that are desired by the society to the same degree (education, health care, public infrastructure).

Title	MANAGEMENT OF ECONOMIC ASSETS WITH VARIOUS PRODUCTION PROFILES
Słowa kluczowe	ocena zarządzania majątkiem, kierowanie jednostką gospodarczą, aktywa trwałe i obrotowe, profil produkcji.
Key words	assessment of asset management, management of the economic unit, fixed and current assets, production profile.
Abstrakt	Celem niniejszego opracowania jest próba ukazania zakresu zarzadzania majątkiem podmiotów gospodarczych o różnym profilu produkcji. Materiałem badawczym były dane o gospodarstwach charakteryzujących się zróżnicowanym profilem produkcji, które w 2017 roku prowadziły rachunkowość rolną w ramach polskiego FADN. Poszczególne wielkości ukazano w przeliczeniu na jedno gospodarstwo w zł. Skalę zróżnicowania analizowano w podziale na osiem typów rolniczych. Majątek gospodarstwa przedstawiono w podziale na aktywa trwałe i obrotowe. Rozpatrywanym parametrem oceny sprawności zarządzania majątkiem była efektywność wykorzystania zasobów. Najwyższym poziomem produktywności i dochodowości kapitału odznaczały się gospodarstwa drobiarskie i ogrodnicze. Wysokim poziomem produktywności i dochodowości pracy odznaczały się gospodarstwa nastawione na chów krów mlecznych i trzody chlewnej. O jakości zarządzania podmiotu gospodarczego informuje także jego kondycja finansowa. Jej syntetycznym wskaźnikiem jest rentowność kapitału własnego ROE. Wśród analizowanych gospodarstw najwyższą dodatnią rentownością kapitału własnego odznaczały się gospodarstwa drobiarskie. Wielkość wskaźnika ROE wynosiła tutaj 14,74%. Na nieco niższym poziomie kształtował się on w gospodarstwach, gdzie dominującą produkcją był chów krów mlecznych i trzody chlewnej. Dodatnią rentownością odznaczały się jeszcze gospodarstwa ogrodnicze.
Abstract	The aim of this study is to show the scope of asset management of business entities with different production profiles. The research material was data on farms characterized by diversified production profile, which in 2017 conducted agricultural accounting under the Polish FADN. Individual sizes are shown per one household in PLN. The scale of diversification was analyzed by eight types of farming. The property of the holding is presented broken down into non-current and current assets. The efficiency of resource utilization was considered as the parameter of assessing the efficiency of asset management. Poultry and gardening farms were characterized by the highest level of productivity and profitability of capital. Farms with milk cows and pigs were characterized by a high level of productivity and profitability of work. The financial condition of the business entity also informs its financial condition. Its synthetic indicator is the profitability of ROE's equity. Among the analyzed farms, poultry farms showed the highest positive return on equity. The value of ROE was 14.74% here. At a slightly lower level, it was shaped on farms where the dominant production was dairy cows and pigs rearing. Gardening farms also had a positive profitability.

Title	The stabilizing effect of domestic and EU budget spending on Polish agriculture – an attempt to quantify
Słowa kluczowe	dochód rozporządzalny w gospodarstwie domowym, nominalne dochody do dyspozycji brutto w sektorze gospodarstw domowych, nakłady inwestycyjne, budżet rolny
Key words	disposable income in household, gross nominal disposable income of households sector, investment outlays, agricultural budget
Abstrakt	Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja stabilizacyjnych efektów wydatków budżetowych na rolnictwo i obszary wiejskie w Polsce. W tym kontekście oceniono wpływ znaczącego wzrostu wydatków budżetowych na rolnictwo po przystąpieniu Polski do UE na stabilność dochodów gospodarstw domowych rolników oraz stabilność inwestycji w rolnictwie. Punktem odniesienia były fluktuacje tych zmiennych w okresie niskich budżetów rolnych w latach 1995–2003. Efekty stabilizacyjne analizowano z perspektywy wewnątrzsektorowej i międzysektorowej. Ustalono, że wzrostowi wydatków budżetowych na rolnictwo towarzyszyła większa stabilność dochodów rolniczych oraz większa stabilność nakładów inwestycyjnych w rolnictwie.
Abstract	The aim of the article is to identify stabilizing effects of budget expenditure on agriculture and rural areas in Poland. In this context, the influence of a significant increase in Poland’s post-accession agricultural budget expenditures on the stability of farmers’ household income and agricultural investment was assessed. Fluctuations of these variables in the period of low agricultural budgets in 1995–2003 served as the point of reference. Stabilization effects were analyzed from the intra-sector and cross-sector perspective. It was found that the increase in budget expenditure on agriculture was accompanied by greater stability of agricultural income and greater stability of investment outlays in agriculture.

Tytuł	Cena a gotowość do zapłaty za określone produkty ekologiczne na przykładzie mieszkańców województwa lubuskiego
Title	Price and readiness to pay for specific ecological products on the example of the inhabitants of the Lubuskie Voivodeship
Słowa kluczowe	produkt ekologiczny, cena, dochody i wydatki gospodarstw domowych, gotowość do zapłaty
Key words	green products, price, household income and expenditure of households, readiness to pay
Abstrakt	Rozwój rynku żywności ekologicznej nastąpił w wyniku m.in. zwiększającej się świadomości konsumentów na temat zdrowego odżywiania, troski o swoich najbliższych, a także rozprzestrzeniania się informacji o przekroczeniach dotyczących poziomu pestycydów w żywności, norm dioksyn w mięsie i wielu innych toksycznych związków chemicznych. Na uwagę zasługuje również zwiększająca się dostępność żywności ekologicznej. Coraz większa liczba sklepów ma w swojej ofercie asortymentowej żywność pochodzącą z upraw i hodowli ekologicznych, co w efekcie wpływa na zwiększenie popytu na ten rodzaj żywności. Zachowania konsumenta dotyczące produktów ekologicznych są determinowane nie tylko zwiększającą się świadomością ekologiczną, ale zależą od wielu czynników, wśród których istotną rolę odgrywają czynniki ekonomiczne. Poznanie uwarunkowań zakupu ekoproduktów ma kluczowe znaczenie w rozwoju rynku żywności ekologicznej. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest, po pierwsze, zidentyfikowanie czynników determinujących zachowania konsumentów na rynku produktów ekologicznych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ekonomicznych. Po drugie, ustalenie zależności między poziomem przeciętnego miesięcznego dochodu na osobę a liczbą osób w gospodarstwie domowym. Niewątpliwie wyższe ceny produktów ekologicznych w porównaniu z ich odpowiednikami konwencjonalnymi oraz niskie dochody konsumentów ograniczają ich nabywanie. Artykuł zawiera wyniki przeprowadzonego badania ankietowego wśród respondentów w województwie lubuskim. Wyniki badania wskazują, że gotowość do zapłaty wyższej ceny wynika nie tylko z dostrzegalnej jakości produktów, walorów smakowych, składu produktu, stylu życia, czy też walorów zapachowych, ale także z dbałości o stan środowiska naturalnego oraz zdrowie swoje i swoich najbliższych.
Abstract	The development of the organic food market has resulted from, among others, an increasing consumer awareness of healthy eating, caring for their loved ones, as well as the spread of information on exceedances regarding the level of pesticides in food, standards of dioxins in meat and many other toxic chemicals. Noteworthy is also the increasing availability of organic food. An increasing number of stores have in their range of products food from organic farming, which in effect affects the increase in demand for this type of food. Consumer behaviour regarding organic products is determined not only by increasing ecological awareness, but depends on many factors, among which economic factors play an important role. Understanding the conditions of purchasing ecoproducts is crucial in the development of the organic food market. The aim of this study is, fi rstly, to identify the factors determining consumer behaviour on the market of organic products, with particular emphasis on economic factors. Secondly, establishing the relationship between the level of average monthly income per person and the number of people in the household. Undoubtedly, higher prices of organic products compared to their conventional counterparts and low income of consumers limit their purchase. The article contains the results of a survey carried out among respondents in the Lubuskie Voivodeship. The results of the study show that the higher willingness to pay results not only from the perceived quality of products, taste values, product composition, lifestyle, or fragrance values, but also from care for the natural environment and the health of both themselves and their relatives.

Słowa kluczowe	financial crisis, effects of financial crisis, anti-crisis action, Poland
Key words	financial crisis, effects of financial crisis, anti-crisis action, Poland
Abstrakt	The subject of the work is to provide an overview of the global financial crisis in the years 2007-2011; its course, symptoms and effects in the world and in Poland. The work presents the causes and the sources of crisis as well as corrective measures taken by governments and financial institutions. The subject literature and information from different national and international financial institutions and organisations were used as a source of research materials and data for analysis. The financial crisis appeared in Poland with some delay and was less intensive than in other developed countries. Anti-crisis measures taken in Poland complied with the recommendations of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The measures taken by the Polish central bank concerned the institutional sphere, the manner in which the financial policy worked and how it was pursued, as well as the real sphere of the economy, including especially enterprises, households and public institutions.

Title	The Wood Pellet Sector: Barriers to Growth and Opinions of Manufacturers in Poland
Słowa kluczowe	renewable energy, wood pellet stoves, raw material, imports, quality, rural household
Key words	renewable energy, wood pellet stoves, raw material, imports, quality, rural household
Abstrakt	Biomass is a major source of renewable energy in the EU and Poland, stimulating the growth of the wood pellet sector. Wood pellet demand is stimulated by a complex interaction of market forces and policies including EU climate, energy, and environmental regulations, Poland’s program to improve air quality, and subsidies for the replacement of inefficient stoves used by households. This article focuses on the growth of the wood pellet industry, imports and exports in Poland, and wood pellet quality and use by households. The main issues faced by the EU wood pellet sector between 2013 and 2016 are further considered in the context of opinions of Polish wood pellet manufacturers. Industry opinions were collected in response to an open-ended question that probed for the main issues faced by wood pellet producers during the survey implemented by the authors in 2019. Respondents identified difficulties in obtaining raw material for pellet production and poor pellet quality as major problems. Although the majority did not feel concerned about competition from imported wood pellets, a small number of respondents viewed such competition as a problem reflecting the reversal of decreasing imports in 2017. Overall, the domestic wood pellet industry can be expected to grow because of increasing pressure to expand the use of renewable energy and will be driven by the household sector switching to more efficient, wood burning stoves. Additionally, the expanding area of private Polish forests may become a source of much-needed raw material for wood pellet manufacturing.

Tytuł	Competitivness and prospects for development of berry production in Ukraine
Title
Słowa kluczowe	Ukraine, berries, prospects of development, competitiveness, export, organic production
Key words
Abstrakt	The demand for raspberries and blackberries has risen sharply in Europe and North America in recent years. Ukraine is almost one third of the world’s black earth, a favorable climate for growing vegetables, fruits and berries, as well as a good ratio of daytime and nighttime temperatures and optimal length of sunny day. Therefore, the authors consider that Ukraine could become a reliable supplier of berries in Europe and America. Berries will not give the same high gross production as cereals. But these products are perspective in terms of processing, value added and profitability for the manufacturer. Considering the strategic importance of growing berries in Ukraine the subject of the research is to study the competitiveness and prospects for production of berries in Ukraine. The conducted assessment of the status and prospects of growing berries shows that Ukraine has been steadily producing within the range of 130-135 thousand tons of berries in recent years. Due to the fact that the products of private households and horticultural societies are not actually taxed, they have significant competitive advantages over agricultural enterprises, which is one of the reasons for the curtailment of industrial horticulture in Ukraine. But, on the other hand, they are inferior to large enterprises because of not failing to implement sanitary, technical standards, certification etc. In order to ensure the competitiveness of domestic producers in the external market, berry producers need to be more actively involved in the process of improving product quality, since in Ukraine only five agribusinesses have a Global GAP certificate, which is a minimum condition for access to the EU market. According to the results of the study, the authors consider organic production of berries as another perspective direction for the development of domestic berries.

Title	Effects of Certain Personal Attributes on Food Waste
Słowa kluczowe	food waste, consumer attitude, sustainable consumption
Key words	food waste, consumer attitude, sustainable consumption
Abstrakt	With the increase of food supply and the improvement of production processes, the real value of certain food products has been steadily declining over the past decades, which is certainly a trend that has seriously transformed the moral value of food, its role in society and its associated personal attitudes. According to UN and FAO estimates, in 2016, 30-35% of our food was wasted. Food waste in households is also a special area of research in terms of their high wasting rate. While exploring the causes of high amounts of consumer waste, a research group has also correlated (with mathematical models) the gradual growth rate of food waste, the US obesity epidemic and the growing supply of cheaper food products (Hall et al. 2009). In our research, we examine certain personal aspects in case of specific (e.g. functional) foods as well. A significant decrease in food waste coming from households could be attained by controlling our attitudes. Food waste, consumption awareness, eating habits, food mileage, water footprint, sustainable eating, energy efficiency: these are all terms which have to have their meaning and importance taught to people, as they contain important – affecting the level of wasting – information. Therefore, we can see that food waste itself is one of the most serious, paradoxical and global modern issues which the developed world has identified, and is trying to decrease by using national and international interventions in order to limit food supply anomalies and environmental loads as much as possible. Understanding personal attributes more precisely might be a good practice for providing future solutions, as well.

Słowa kluczowe	mortgage crisis, banking sector, commercial banks, financial stability, Spain, Poland
Key words	mortgage crisis, banking sector, commercial banks, financial stability, Spain, Poland
Abstrakt	The aim of this article is to establish whether the symptoms of an emerging housing bubble can be observed on the Polish market. The concept of this study is based on a comparison between economic, financial and demographic conditions at the time of the mortgage crisis in Spain and the current situation on the housing market and on the market of housing loans granted to households in Poland. An analysis of two economic indicators, (i) housing loans to households-to-GDP expressed in growth rates and (ii) rates of house price growth, does not indicate that a speculative bubble occurs in Poland now. This, however, does not mean that the conclusions drawn from the Spanish crisis cannot and should not have a bearing on the Polish market, especially in terms of potential consequences the crisis may have for the banking sector.
