Farm development paths were studied in more depth in Poland, Lithuania and Slovenia using detailed farmer surveys. Farmers' strategies, availability of resources, and opportunities and threats were analysed, and interactive group trainings in strategic management were part of the analysis. The results are presented here. Although farmers showed similar wishes concerning farm development, the local environment and policies determines the degree of achievement. Farm fragmentation, the high percentage of rented land and availability of suitable labour are major constraints. Future EU policies are a concern but new technologies are embraced.
This book is a must for those interested in the transition in Eastern Europe. It is indispensable to consultants, marketers, companies, farm leaders and government officials in agriculture.
