The share of non – farm income varies, depending on the orientation of the production and socio – economic household type. Especially in case of the US wherein the decrease in the share of non – farm income in total incomes was highly visible. Within the framework of agriculture policies and rural areas development, the instruments influencing the off-farm incomes directly and indirectly might be extracted. However, it should be highlighted that more important role will be assigned to instruments stimulating growth in non – farm employment on rural areas.}, title={Importance of Non-Agricultural Income for Farms in Canada and the US}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/243499/wir_2017_1_174_049_074.pdf}, keywords={off-farm income, agricultural policy, family farm household, agricultural finance, rural finance}, }
