Abstract

type="graphical"> The many semi-subsistence farms (SSFs) in the ten New Member States joining the EU in 2004 (the 2004 NMSs) may be seen as a legacy of communism, or the result of neglect. A highly fragmented farm structure either existed before transition to a market economy, or resulted from the land reforms of the 1990s. Remote areas have seen agriculture permanently abandoned, and consequent depopulation. In more accessible areas, small farms and SSFs have often become less labour-intensive, or have added value by innovative marketing. However, rural–urban disparities have increased. Most SSFs exist to survive rural poverty, and off-farm employment is becoming the predominant strategy.
