Abstract

This article presents the results of research that allowed us to outline the profile of a modern farmer and assess whether their defining characteristics translate into a willingness to implement biological innovations in their farm. For individual farming in Poland, biological innovations are of paramount importance for several reasons. However, larger, more extensive farms are primarily interested in adopting these innovations due to economic pressure. Medium-sized farms (5–50 hectares) do not face the same economic pressures, often having diverse sources of income. Therefore, it is essential to identify the factors that may promote innovation and those that are significant barriers to their adoption. As the research results show, these factors are associated with the realization of the modern farmer profile. The article is based on research conducted as part of the NCN Miniatura grant titled “The Profile of a Modern Farmer and the Implementation of Biological Innovations in Individual Farms.”
