Auteur :
BAŃSKI, J.

Description :
In the A.'s opinion an agricultural problem area is characterised by an accumulation of negative socioeconomic and (or) natural phenomena handicapping it in comparison with agricultural areas of characteristics average for the country, and weakening its agricultural function. They are associated with disturbing demographic phenomena like the depopulation of villages, migration and the ageing of the owners of farms. Other unfavourable processes are the extensification of output, the laying fallow of large areas of land and a lack of interest in farm enlargement. A division of agricultural problem areas into 4 types may be proposed. These areas are concentrated in just a few regions of Poland. - (BJ)
