Sustainable development is widely regarded as one of the pillars of building policies, strategies and business models. This assumption also applies to creation of specific practices related to running farm business. The key issue is how to measure agriculture sustainability. The article assesses the economic area of sustainable agriculture using the economic sustainability index, constructed on the basis of sixteen financial indicators. The source of data was the FADN, from which data on the economic situation of dairy farms (type 45). As a result of the research, the relationship between the economic size and the value of the economic sustainability index were determined. The research area covered five countries that are the largest dairy producers in European Union. In this case, high discrepancies in the level of economic sustainability index between farms were noted.(original abstract)

Zrównoważony rozwój jest powszechnie uważany za jeden z filarów budowania polityki, strategii i modeli biznesowych. Założenie to dotyczy także kreowania określonych praktyk związanych z prowadzeniem gospodarstw rolnych. Kluczową kwestią jest sposób pomiaru stopnia zrównoważenia rolnictwa. W artykule dokonano oceny aspektu ekonomicznego rolnictwa zrównoważonego z użyciem wskaźnika trwałości ekonomicznej. Został on skonstruowany na podstawie szesnastu wskaźników finansowych. Źródłem danych był FADN, z którego zaczerpnięto dane o sytuacji ekonomicznej gospodarstw mlecznych (typ 45). W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań ustalono związek między klasą wielkości ekonomicznej a wartością wskaźnika trwałości ekonomicznej. Obszar badaczy stanowiło pięć państw będących największymi producentami mleka w Unii Europejskiej. W tym wypadku zauważono wysokie rozbieżności w poziomie wskaźnika trwałości ekonomicznej między gospodarstwami.(abstrakt oryginalny)
