Abstract

With an overview of the Hungarian farm structure and an attempt at thematic systematisation and conceptual classification, the study has undertaken to demonstrate the complexity of the Hungarian farm structure. The authors have emphasized especially the fundamental differences between subsistence, part-time farms and competitive farms or companies, and based on this, they want to make an attempt to enlighten the necessity to handle differently these different structures in the agricultural policy. In the study the farm structure of EU member countries and various practices are described in detail. The conclusion is that there is no perfect EU-conformity and there is no such standard of farm structure regulating precisely every detail to which Hungary should adapt entirely.
