Title: A characteristic of livestock farms with development potential in the lowland and mountainous regions of Poland
Abstract: The objective of the reported study was to investigate the current conditions and diversity of local farms in two characteristic (mountainous and lowland) regions of Poland. The research was based on real-farm data acquired by a survey method, as a tentative application of Livestock Farming System (LFS) methodology. The study was focused on family, market-oriented farms with development potential. The collected survey data constitute a good basis for further analyses, but they also emphasise the need to modify and improve both the applied questionnaire and research methodology. It seems to be advisable to extend and intensify the research to include a bigger number of farms within each of the most common types of animal production system.
