The increasingly volatile conditions of doing business and the existence of societies are a clear reason to explore the category of resilience. The article aims to present and structure selected theoretical and methodological problems concerning resilience in agriculture. The results of a bibliometric analysis indicate a research gap referring to the category of financial resilience. The category of 'resilience' is based on relatively modern concepts from business management, particularly those close to risk management theory. Identifying and measuring capacities to build and strengthen resilience seems to be very important. Quantitative and qualitative methods may be used to explore the category 'financial resilience' in agriculture. There has been a noticeable research gap in agricultural finance to fill in. The indicator system for measuring the resilience of agricultural enterprises/farms has some limitations related to the aggregated nature of some financial categories. It would be advisable to develop a global measure of risk resistance in parallel (e.g., in the form of a synthetic index). (original abstract)

Coraz bardziej zmienne warunki prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej i funkcjonowania społeczeństw są istotną przesłanką do eksplorowania kategorii odporności (resilience). Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie i uporządkowanie wybranych problemów teoretycznych orazmetodologicznych dotyczących odporności w rolnictwie. Wyniki analizy bibliometrycznej wskazują, że istnieje luka badawcza odnosząca się do kategorii odporności finansowej. Kategoria resilience opiera się na stosunkowo nowoczesnych koncepcjach z zakresu zarządzania przedsiębiorstwem, w szczególności tych, które są bliskie teorii zarządzania ryzykiem. Identyfikacja i mierzenie zdolności do budowania wzmocnienia odporności wydaje się być bardzo ważne. Zarówno metody ilościowe, jak i jakościowe mogą być wykorzystane do badania kategorii odporności finansowej w rolnictwie. W finansach rolnictwa zauważalna jest luka badawcza związana z pomiarem i oceną odporności finansowej. System miar i wskaźników do pomiaru odporności przedsiębiorstw/gospodarstw rolnych ma pewne ograniczenia związane z zagregowanym charakterem niektórych kategorii finansowych. Wskazane byłoby równoległe opracowanie miary całkowitej odporności na ryzyko, np. w postaci syntetycznego indeksu. (abstrakt oryginalny)
