THE EVALUATION OF THE SUSTAINABILITY OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION OF DAIRY FARMS USING RISE MODEL

Abstract

The paper presents the assessment of the degree of sustainability of agricultural production using the ecological, economic and social indicators included in the RISE model in selected four dairy farms. The research was conducted in the Lubelskie and Podlaskie provinces. The analysis shows that none of the analyzed farms can be considered sustainable under the adopted methodology because they did not have positive values for all 12 indicators characterizing the different aspects of sustainability. Farms in the Lubelskie province and one farm in the Podlaskie province was engaged in intensive agricultural production, using high fertilization fertilizers, which caused problems with the fertilizer economy, and the “N and P” emission potential was high. At the same time, these farms showed little respect for biodiversity but achieved good economic results. Farms in Lubelskie voivodeship, in spite of problems have better managed the fertilizer economy than farms in Podlaskie voivodeship. In the selected farms, the biggest problem was the achievement of a positive biodiversity value, which resulted from the use of intensive production technologies.<br/><br/>
