Changes which were introduced in Poland at the turn of the 80s and 90 have given rise to large-scale of unemployment. Unemployment, although it was visible mainly in the cities, has spread to rural areas. To maintain an average level of life, many farm owners were looking for additional sources of income – non-agricultural income. In order to ensure an adequate level of income of the population in rural areas and to preserve the natural landscape, agricultural production is increasingly being complemented by other activities, such as agrotourist services, manufacturing, health food, agricultural and non-agricultural services, crafts. Non-agricultural economic activities in rural areas is growing in a very different way. Currently non-agricultural entities show the highest density of western regions (West Pomerania, Pomerania, Silesia and Lubuskie Voivodeship). The largest concentration of non-agricultural entities in the suburban areas of large cities and in areas, which are attractive to tourists.
