Descripción
The human factor plays now an important role in the development of agriculture and rural areas. The
importance of human capital means that it is the main driving force of competitive advantage, contributing to
the shaping of farms on the market. The aim of study was to determine the importance of human capital in the
shaping of economic efficiency of dairy farms. Farms were assigned to groups depending on the region, level
education or age of owners. Among the managers of surveyed farms, more than a half (52.27%) were people
with secondary (40.15%) or higher education (12.12%). Farmers with primary education constituted 5.3% of
the surveyed population. Net farm income in group of farmers with higher education averaged 5030.94 PLN/
cow and 0.68 PLN/l milk. The lowest economic efficiency was observed in farms whose owners had about 30
years ((2960 PLN/cow i 0.44 PLN/l milk). Agricultural income of farmers over the age of 60 years averaged
4890 PLN/cow and 0.78 PLN/l milk. In conclusion, farmers having higher education should know that they
have the highest possibility to bring new solutions to agriculture, building on what they learned during their
studies. They have the highest knowledge about how to create multifunctional development in rural areas.
