The Common Agricultural Policy post-2020 emphasizes that sustainable economic development is an important factor of family farms. Scientific problem: the trends of sustainable economic development of family farms and the recommendations for promotion of sustainability. Research aim: to provide suggestions on promotion of sustainability upon assessment of the trends of sustainable economic development of the Lithuanian family farms. Family farm sustainable economic development index has been used for identification of the trends. Nine types of sustainable economic development of family farms have been identified. Analysis of the types of sustainable economic development of Lithuanian family farms by specialization has been conducted and the causes which have determined the situation at the farms have been identified.

In the new proposed legal solutions, shaping the instruments of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union, the concept of “active farmer” is of great importance, as it is an key element of a family farm. The European Union and the member states will program strategic interventions, addressed mainly to family farms. The authors of the article characterized the structural elements of the proposed legal concept of “active farmer” and compared them with the elements of the concept of “individual farmer” known in Polish law. They presented a conclusion that the Polish and EU understanding of the legal category of “family farm” is different and the current Polish legal solutions will not be useful in constructing and implementing the strategic plan for 2023–2027. They also call for a revision of Polish legal solutions relating to family farms.

This article is aimed to address the issue of sustainable economic development assessment in family farms. A complex methodology of family farm sustainable economic development assessment based on the family farm sustainable economic development index has been created following analysis of family farm sustainable economic development assessment methodologies, which are proposed by scientists and used in practice. The Kruskal-Wallis test and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to check the relevance of the index in family farm sustainable economic development assessment. The index value range was calculated using descriptive statistics. The characteristics of the index allow creating models for family farm sustainable economic development classification types based on k-means clustering. The family farms were classified into nine types. Examples of Lithuanian family farms were provided to demonstrate practical applications of the index. Furthermore, analysis of Lithuanian family farm sustainable economic development types by specialisation enabled to identify the main reasons for the existing situation in the farms.

States of the Visegrad Four have always been the area historically connected together by common roots, tradition, culture relations and similar economic development. Economies of the Visegrad Group have reached a comparable level of development. The aim of the paper is to compare the V4 states with regard to the conditions for agricultural production and to assess the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy to the economy of agricultural holdings in the V4 states according to the FADN results.

Abstract Subject and purpose of work: We present the results of the research on the impact of the CAP on the development of family farms in the province of Podlasie. Materials and methods: The research covered farms included in the FADN system. The analysis concerns 2005 and 2014 and was carried out in groups separated due to the their condition and development opportunities: progressive farms, potentially progressive and non-progressive ones. The development opportunities were assessed on the basis of the surplus on self-financing, net investments and fixed asset replacement rates. Results: In all groups of farms the value of assets grew, and the growth rate of assets was the highest in the progressive farms. Only the progressive and potentially progressive farms had self-financing options. Conclusions: Budget transfers targeted at farms affected the intensification of activities related to their modernization, which resulted in the diversification of these entities. The most active recreation of fixed assets took place in the progressive farms. The market activity of potentially progressive farms increased and they are likely to become progressive farms in the future. The non-progressive farms are characterized by their permanent inability to develop.

The use of the potential of the land and the natural resources of the new generations in the separate regions are the main prerequisite and basis for the development of a certain type of multifunctional agriculture. The process of continuity should be seen as a process and not as a one-off action or event. The aim of the study is to analyze the process of inheritance in agriculture, as a socio-economic method for ensuring the viability of rural areas. The analysis is based on empirical evidence - cases from family farms and young heirs in rural areas of Bulgaria. The transfer of farm management to the next generation must be organized. Otherwise, the alternative is clear: resettlement from rural areas, a rapidly aging population and insufficient young people to enter the sector. Recognizing the importance of continuity, the Common Agricultural Policy provides training and funding to encourage young people to engage in agricultural activities.
