Possibilities of afforestation of farming land and social acceptance
Dzikowska, Teresa ... [et al.]
Augmentation of afforestation in Poland is one of the main priority in ecological policy of this country. Its realisation is strictly connected with convertion of around 600 mln ha of arable land into forest. The farming land to be used in this process has to have a lower level of usefulness in farming production. The whole planning of afforestation of the suitable land must be entered in writing in development projects. Only then farmers who are interested in afforestation can apply and ask for permission. With Poland joining the EU changes were made to the plans and priorities of economical, ecological and social policies, especially in regards to countryside. According to the law and regulations (1257/1999-EU Council Directive), subsidies for farmers for development of a countryside take harmoniously into account the needs of multi-functions investment in Polish villages as well as obligatory priorities for growth from UE. One of the rules to receive subsidies for farming production includes: specified requirements which have to recognize ecological production but also will protect and shape country landscape.
