Spatial diversity of activities of farmers in obtaining EU funds for the development of farms in the wielkopolska voivodeship on the example of the measure “Modernisation of agricultural holdings”
Abstract
The article presents and assesses the activities of farmers in obtaining EU funds for the development of the farm operation on the example of modernisation of agricultural holdings. The activity of farmers in applying for funds for agricultural development in terms of poviats is highly diverse. Fragmentation of farms is an important factor of differentiation of farmers’ activity in applying for funds, because it usually implies their weak economic strength and thus limits the possibilities for further development.
