Jan Ardanowski on the future of the Polish countryside and organic farming
Jan Ardanowski, former Minister of Agriculture and agricultural expert, in a recent interview presented his vision for the development of the Polish countryside and the role of organic farming. His thoughts reflect a deep concern for the future of agriculture, with an emphasis on protecting the environment and caring for local communities.
Importance of organic farming
Ardanowski stressed that organic farming is not just a fad, but a necessity in the face of modern challenges. In his view, environmentally friendly production methods that do not deplete natural resources and allow long-term use of the land are increasingly important.
“Organic farming is the future, as it combines high quality products with care for nature. Consumers are increasingly choosing sustainably produced food, which is a positive signal for farmers,” - Ardanowski noted.
In this context, Ardanowski noted that Polish farmers should take advantage of the growing demand for organic products while protecting biodiversity and local ecosystems. According to him, the transition to greener production methods is one of the key directions for the development of the agricultural sector in Poland.
The future of the Polish countryside
Another important topic raised by Ardanowski was the future of the Polish countryside. He expressed his belief that the countryside should remain a place where tradition meets modernity. He stressed that rural communities must have access to modern infrastructure, education and health care in order to develop and attract younger generations.
“The countryside is the heart of our culture and heritage, but it must also keep up with technological developments. Investments in modern technology, the Internet and education are essential to make the countryside attractive to young people,” - Ardanowski said.
Support for local producers
At the end of the interview, Ardanowski noted the need for greater support for local agricultural producers. He stressed that local farms often offer products of the highest quality, but need better access to markets and support in promoting their products.
“Polish agriculture has great potential, but we need to invest in local producers so that their products can compete on the domestic and foreign markets,” he said. - The former minister noted.
The interview with Jan Ardanowski makes it clear that the Polish countryside and organic farming have a bright future, as long as they are supported by appropriate measures from both the government and society.
