The number of organic farms has been continuously going up; in 2003 it increased by 15.6% on the previous year. Nevertheless, the number of organic farms in Poland remains small, considering that nearly all its soils meet high environmental requirements, i.e. they are not polluted with heavy metals and other industrial pollutants as well as fertilisers and pesticides. Population and human resources in agriculture According to the General Population and Housing Census and the Agricultural Census, conducted in 2002, 10 474 500 people, i.e. 27.4% of Poland’s population, lived in households connected with a farm (area of more than 10 ares) user. Eighty per cent or 8 504 900 people were inhabitants of rural areas. This implies that 58.2% of the total rural population was connected with farming through a common household. As compared to the results of the 1996 General Agricultural Census, the number of people in agricultural holdings fell by 1 084 700 or 9.4%. The number of persons living off work in agricultural holdings is constantly decreasing, whereas that of people maintained by farmers or with non-gainful sources of income (mainly old age and disability pensions) is increasing. As regards the education level, the situation improved, though the number of people with tertiary, post-secondary or secondary education is much lower in rural areas and the farming sector than in towns. Compared to the EU-15 average, the structure of agricultural holding users in Poland is more favourable. Figure 15.
