Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of the publication is to present two sustainable farming
systems in Poland - the system of integrated production and organic farming in 2010 and 2020.
Materials and methods: Changes in the number of farms over the decade are analyzed. The study
used statistical data published by the Central Statistical Office.
Results: A descriptive method was used, combined with the use of simple dynamics indicators,
and a concise review of the literature on the subject was carried out. A decrease in the number of
organic farms in 2020 compared to 2010 was noted, while the number of farms using the method
of integrated agricultural production increased slightly. A large regional variation in the analyzed
farming systems was also noted.
Conclusions: The results lead to the conclusion that sustainable agriculture is not recording the
desired growth.
