Abstract: The progressive effects of climate change and persistent negative trends in the state of the natural environment of many rural areas in the European Union and throughout the world are reasons for which there is an urgent need to carry out activities with respect to the protection of climate and natural environment in the agricultural sector. The objective of this article is to describe both the state of spending funds and farms belonging to beneficiaries of the Agri-environmental-climate The aim of the study was to measure and assess the functioning of farms belonging to beneficiaries of the RDP 2014- 2020 measure against a background of other farms in 2017. A comparative analysis of farms belonging to beneficiaries and other farms included farms with field crops, mixed production and animals fed with roughage, as they play an important role in Polish agriculture. As part of the Measure, more than half of the farms use support under Packages 1 and 2. The share of farms implementing 3 or more packages at a time was much lower. The analysis carried out shows, inter alia, that farms belonging to beneficiaries are characterised by a worse economic situation expressed by income per 1 FWU (Family Work Unit)
