Growing environmental and climate problems in the contemporary world necessitate search for efficient solutions, including changes agriculture, which has been reflected new package of reforms EU policy, called European Green Deal (the EGD). Agriculture rural areas play an essential role attainment EGD goals, one prerequisites effective implementation assumptions is to recognize mechanism underlying activity agricultural farms scope pro-environmental measures implemented under Common...

The present study attempts to examine the research gap in terms of comparing environmental impact trolleybuses and diesel buses conditions a country with an unfavourable energy mix. analysed example concerns trolleybus transport system Gdynia, northern Poland, which also partially serves neighbouring city Sopot. In last few years, two bus lines have been electrified In-Motion-Charging technology, enables operation on sections without overhead network. Using actual operational data,...

Soil erosion is one of the major processes degrading natural environment but also agricultural production areas. may lead to soil organic carbon (SOC) loss, especially from sloping terrain units. The use phytomelioration in environmental management, particularly long-term, permanent forest vegetation, widely recognized as a possible measure for protection and mitigation climate change through sequestration. aim this study was compare topsoil stocks on slopes under soil-protecting forests...

Agriculture is often not included in the baseline greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventories created for local low carbon economy plans Poland and other European countries. We therefore estimate size of footprint from agricultural sources indicate share agriculture total GHG emissions selected Polish communes (LAU level 2). propose a solution whereby government units can their independently monitor impact actions taken to reduce emissions. The value varies .5 46.5 thousand Mg CO2eq/year, with...

The paper presents the concept of an ecological corridor system developed for spatial planning based on case Pomerania Province. More attention was paid to corridors along watercourses and river valleys. study included e.g. relationships between proposed network regional eco-corridors national as well areas protected nature areas, including Natura 2000 sites. main threats valley in area were identified. Depending level impact geographical range, three different land distinguished:...

The article concerns the afforestation of agricultural land, especially soils low quality classes with little suitability for agriculture. assumption was made that in order to effectively implement and optimize spatial structures, these lands should be analyzed from point view environmental conditions (including land its field crops, cohesion forest ecosystem, presence naturally valuable areas), according potential a given area. Land is ineffective cultivation does not improve ecosystem...

A reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well an increase in the share renewable energy are main objectives EU policy. In Poland, biofuels play important role structure obtaining from sources. case obtained agricultural raw materials, one significant components generated their full life cycle is cultivation stage. The aim study to estimate and recognize GHG emission biomass production selected farms Poland. For this purpose, methodology that was recommended by Polish certification...

Decoupling economic growth from the exploitation of natural resources, protecting vulnerable ecosystems, restoring habitats and species, supporting areas used for organic farming are, along with achieving climate neutrality, key tenets European Green Deal (EGD)—the EU’s new sustainable strategy. One direction activities to implement several these goals simultaneously is provision financial support agricultural aimed at valuable plant animal species. This study aims present research results...

Abstract The paper presents the state and importance of soil-protecting forests in areas managed by RDSF Toruń, as well changes their structure over 29 years. management Toruń is characterized a systematic increase area, thickness rich abundance forests, particularly intense since mid-nineteen-nineties. They cover mainly rusty soils podzols on outwash areas, sandy terraces sloped postglacial valleys gullies well. Soil-protecting which are vary great deal considering habitat, both terms...

Based on the analysis of twenty plans for a low carbon economy, adopted implementation by rural municipalities typical agricultural character, representing various Polish regions, evaluation role and effectiveness these documents in planning coordination activities favor development was carried out.Evaluated among others are scope extent regard agriculture areas diagnostic programming parts plans, sources financing monitoring indicators individual actions.Both advantages disadvantages were...

Abstract Notwithstanding the opportunities it provides, implementation of some measures EU Common Agricultural Policy (EU CAP), including agri-environment-climate (AECMs), also generates threats. The study identifies an extremely disturbing process that can be referred to as “internal neo-colonialism”, which has been driven by technocratic agrarian policy and transformations in Poland at turn twenty-first century. associated disadvantageous practices mainly affect areas under threat...

An important element in the local shaping of a low-carbon economy, as well one key areas activity communal plans for its development should be rural and their related agricultural activities. This is due on hand to significant share agriculture total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Poland (on average about 8%, locally much 20-50%), other high potential use resources increase carbon sequestration biomass soil, reduce GHG emissions, renewable energy. The paper, based results mathematical...

Every type of agricultural production is a burden for the natural environment. The paper’s objective to assess energy use efficiency, GHG emissions, and provide an economic analysis buckwheat Central Europe (Poland). comparison involved two systems: low-input high-input ones. experiment three varieties buckwheat, Panda, Volma, Mancan. yields were obtained from field which was set up in 3k-p fractional design applied replications at same time five factors tested (A—variety, B—mineral...

The aim of the study is to assess importance rural resources and ability use their potential for local low-carbon economy development. paper presents a diagnosis situation Polish agriculture areas in terms economy. Strengths weaknesses as well opportunities threats two key elements, i.e. maintenance or increase absorb CO2 reduction greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural lands soils, were indicated. Specific attention was paid high (including forestry) possible order sequestration carbon...

Abstract Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is one of the main greenhouse gases, with a nearly 300 times greater potential to produce effect than carbon dioxide (CO ). Almost 80% annual emissions this gas in Poland come from agriculture, and its source use agricultural soils. The study attempted estimate N O emission soils indicate share total 48 Polish communes. For purpose, simplified solution has been proposed which can be successfully applied by local government areas order assess nitrous emissions,...

W artykule dokonano analizy poziomu, struktury i zróżnicowania przestrzennego płatności Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej (WPR) w województwie wielkopolskim 2022 r. oraz ich oddziaływania na rozwój rolnictwa obszarów wiejskich tym regionie. pracy wykorzystano m.in. dane zawarte ogólnodostępnym internetowym wykazie beneficjentów WPR, obejmujące kwoty zrealizowanych płatności, ujęte jako wskaźnik absorpcji (w zł 1 mieszkańca). Dane te stanowiły podstawę do przestrzennej, wykonanej ujęciu powiatowym...

Celem artykułu jest ocena zróżnicowania przestrzennego struktury obszarowej gospodarstw ekologicznych w Polsce na poziomie regionów i gmin wraz z rozpoznaniem kierunku tempa przemian latach 2012–2021.
