Abstract

An agricultural development environment is comprised of a number of complex factors interacting in space and time. Those are economic, social and ecological factors that define certain conditions for agriculture development from the aspect of sustainable development, and they do so through their simultaneous effect. These factors are made up of different variables, i.e. determinants, the effects of which cannot always be predicted with reliability, yet they can significantly influence the (un)sustainability of a development environment of agriculture. This paper analyses the development environment of agriculture in the EU from the aspect of sustainable development, using the quantitative statistical method called factor method. Quantitative analysis is conducted by using available statistical data from the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU and the statistical data available from the European Commission EUROSTAT. This type of analysis is particularly important in the context of finding suitable measures to improving the agri-economic activity, achieving the agrisocial equality and preserving the agri-ecological ambient.
