Abstract: The strategy for rural development provides a differentiated approach to each type of rural areas. Particularly "sensitive " areas for rural development in Poland are remote rural areas, which are dominated by small farms with small economic strength. In many cases further agricultural development is very difficult or even impossible for these farms. For a lot of farms adapting to the current market situation is to determine the direction of production and the choice of management system. In this regard, organic farming seems to be a good alternative for those farms also given the significant financial support for the sector. Besides, organic farming also consistent with the paradigm of sustainable development -especially the concept of sustainable environmental development and protection of environmental heritage.
