Food sovereignty and restrictions on the trading in agricultural property in Poland – legal aspects


The aim of this discussion is to attempt to determine whether there is a link between food sovereignty and regulations governing the trade in agricultural property, and, if so, whether the restrictions on the trade in agricultural property currently in force in Poland contribute to the achievement of food sovereignty.

The article explains the concept of food sovereignty itself and shows that a key factor in ensuring food sovereignty is to guarantee access to agricultural property for farmers with smaller holdings (family farms). The analysis carried out in the article leads to the conclusion that both the rules governing the trading of agricultural property, as set out in the Act on shaping the agricultural system, and the rules governing the management of agricultural property owned by the State Treasury, help to facilitate access to agricultural property for farmers running family farms, consequently contributing to the achievement of food sovereignty.

AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
