Abstract

Ecological agriculture, understood as agricultural production compliant with natural environment rules, in Poland is the subject of EU regulations and Polish legislation applied to incorporate provisions of the Common Agricultural Policy of EU. The ecological production method fulfills a double social role: on the one hand, it supplies goods to the specific market of ecological products; on the other hand, it is an activity conducted in public interest, as it facilitates environmental protection and development of rural areas. Depending on the social function of ecological agriculture that a given legal regulation focuses on, ecological agriculture regulations are divided into two groups. One may raise objections that the economic phenomena regulation is to detailed. Thus, in order to ensure its improvement, it is advisable to introduce the notion of an “ecological farm”.
