The influence of the principle of cross compliance on formation of new agricultural economics on the basis of research in the Opole region
Abstract
The new organization of agriculture is particularly influenced by the principles of reformed WPR: decoupling, cross compliance, modulation, budget discipline. The central position among these is taken by the principle of cross compliance that regulates the inner organisation of agriculture. The remaining principles are more connected with its relationship with the environment (market, elements of rural space). The results of research presented in this work, conducted in agricultural farms in the Opole region, confirm the influence of cross compliance on productive decisions of farmers, which increasingly depend on the knowledge of integrated and precise methods of administering the productive platform. This influences formation of new economics of agriculture. Moreover, according to 41% of the examined, thanks to good practice of good agricultural culture, the negative influence of agriculture on natural environment will be limited.
