IMPACT OF THE FARMER’S EDUCATION ON THE LEVEL OF FARM SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

Research on the education of farmers were conducted in 20 farms specialized in cattle production. The results showed that two groups of farms (differing in the education of farmers) had an average level of sustainability. Farms run by people with secondary and higher education were more sustainable that those run by farmers with vocational and primary education, particularly in terms of social and economic criteria. On the other hand, farms managed by farmers with vocational and primary education, were more sustainable in agro-ecological aspects and less sustainable in social aspects.<br/><br/>
