摘要：In Poland, organic farming has been growing steadily
though less rapidly than in other EU Member States. As organic
farming is based on knowledge and innovation, access to various
kinds of information is critical for its development. Having the
above in mind, the authors undertook to investigate the system
of knowledge transfer in organic farming and to analyze the
impact it has on the development of the organic food market.
This paper presents a qualitative study on organic farmers, agricultural
advisors and researchers with interest in organic farming
(conducted in 2017). It focuses on the role of Agricultural
Advisory Centers in knowledge transfer in the organic farming
sector because agricultural advisory services are central to the
entire knowledge transfer system (while not playing a major
role). Research results show that both farmers and advisors
claim there are many shortcomings in the knowledge transfer
system, caused by multiple factors, including the underfunding
of agricultural advisory services, absence of advisors specializing
solely in organic farming, and inefficient management
of advisory institutions. The increasing significance of private
centers was also highlighted. The weakness of the advisory services
system could be one of the reasons why organic farming
in Poland does not develop as rapidly as in other EU countries.
