Agriculture has always been a key component of our country’s economy. It is included in Sector I of the national economy and is the most important component of the food economy. In addition to producing food for humans, agriculture also aims to produce animal feed and raw materials for the processing industry.
Farming in Poland was for many of its people their whole life, and they spent most of their time in the fields. This ensured the quality of their products. Polish farms, based on values such as tradition and experience, did not support themselves with pesticides or artificial fertilisers.
For nearly a century, the Union of Rural Youth (ZMW) has been accompanying young people in rural areas on the road to independence, knowledge and agency. By combining respect for tradition with openness to modernity, ZMW is creating a space where the younger generation can make a real impact on the future of the Polish countryside – and Europe as a whole.
