Based on the data from the Statistical Office for 2010 year, there is evidence tthat small farms, more than the others, develop a concept of sustainable agriculture, however different forms of multifunctional agriculture on a small scale are implemented by these farms. In regions with a high percentage of small farms participation it has been observed that there is a negative influence on agriculture sector competitiveness, because of the very limited number of larger farms producing goods for non-agricultural links of the food chain, and a market obstacle of agricultural land transfer from small farms to the other farms.}, title={The economic, environmental and social functions of small farms}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/242870/wir_2013_2_159_090_105.pdf}, keywords={small farms, sustainable agriculture, multifunctional agriculture}, }
