The farmers – active playesr on land market – see problems that the institutional environment cannot recognize. Practical Implications: Possibility of implementation of new universal measurement for international comparisions with coexistence with available statistical databases. Practical notices and remarks of experienced farmers for legal regulation proposals to avoid further land concentration processes excluded by European Green Deal rules. Originality/value: The value of the research is innovative research method – ARFACH – Aggregated Ratio of Land Area Changes. Moreover unique research based on survey results on farm site allows to create new legal regulations to limit land concentration processes in European agriculture.
