Developing the data collection system for organic farming in Poland

摘要

Interest in organic farming in Poland caused an increased demand for statistical data in that field. This is why the Central Statistical Office (CSO) in co-operation with the Main Inspectorate of the Agricultural and Food Quality Inspection (AFQI) andscientists from the Warsaw Agricultural University have undertaken works aimed at building an information system about the Polish organic product market as an integral element of the European system. CSO and AFQI have also undertaken efforts to use thesame identifiers /keys for organic farms in their systems, which significantly facilitates further co-operation in building an organic farming information system.
