Agriculture in rural development

Abstract

The most important processes of socio-economic development in the second millennium AD include deruralization and deagrarization. These processes support and condition each other. They accelerated with the development of capitalism, market economy and industrialization. Their course in the post-industrial era is beginning to change, also in the case of Poland. The challenges that are currently being formulated for the countryside and agriculture, as well as the current development conditions, require a new perspective on the relations between agriculture and the countryside, in particular the assessment of the process of deagrarization of the countryside and its further course. This is related to the emerging change in the paradigm of agricultural development - the transition from industrial agriculture to sustainable agriculture. These paradigms differ in the bundle of goals and functions and methods of production (agricultural practices). The first is limited to maximizing economic benefits and the production function and is based on the wide use of industrial means of production, while the second also takes into account public goods and ecosystem functions and is based on the use of natural resources. The future form of agriculture seems to be organic farming, which shows high growth dynamics. In the foreseeable future, however, the most probable development of agriculture is dual, i.e. within the range defined by corporate enterprises and family farms, as well as industrial and organic (ecological) technologies (practices). The above-mentioned phenomena (processes) are the subject of reflection and analysis of the article, the aim of which is to present the possibilities of using agriculture in rural development, taking into account the degree of urbanization.
