The environmental functionsof sustainable agriculture include: protecting earth’s natural resources, protecting thesanitary conditions of food articles, protecting and developing natural environment,including water, soil and air [Directions... 1999]. Important sustainability areas havebeen defined as regards agriculture, i.e. economic, social and environmental areas,with regard to which the level of economic effectiveness and social justice havebeen defined as sustainability measures. Basically, the conception of sustainabilityconcerns such categories as: preserving and protecting resources, the effectiveness oftransformation processes and intergenerational equilibrium [A framework... 2001]. Thesocial functions agriculture include being a source of households’ incomes, a placefor professional activity, cultural development and cultivation of national tradition,leisure and recreation, promotion of tourism and healthy lifestyle and ensuring foodsafety. As well as in the overall sustainable economy, it is impossible not to considerActa Sci. Pol.
Economic sustainability of agriculture – conceptions and indicators 127the institutional approach in the contemporary notion of sustainable agriculture either[Zegar 2005].To sum up, the conception of sustainable agriculture marks a multi-layer range ofgrowth, taking into account economic, social, ecological and institutional aspects. Theaims of sustainable development in national economy are marked by three areas of interaction:social welfare, social justice and respect for natural environment. In order to implementthe rules of sustainable development, farms, like non-farming enterprises, cannotsolely act basing on the profit criterion, but they also have to take into account ecologicalcriteria and, first of all, social criteria. The contemporary policies of sustainable developmentof rural areas are determined according to the conception of sustainable agriculture.Therefore, a question arises how to measure the effects of the implemented activitiesaimed at an integral development of rural areas, especially those immeasurable ones andunquantifiable ones.ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF AGRICULTUREIn the macroeconomic debate, a few economic sustainability criteria are mentioned,like: rate of growth of production and income, effectiveness, efficiency, innovativeness,competitiveness, public debt. While criteria like inflation, unemployment rate, tradeimbalances are politically prominent, but hardly ever located in sustainability context.Other, traditional criteria like aggregated demand, consumption levels and savings ratesplay a minor role in the current debate. So whereas there are ideas to be found in the economicsliterature regarding the environmental, social and sometimes institutional sustainabilityof the economic system, there is hardly any information available on the economicsustainability of the economy (and thus not on the overall sustainability of the economy,which comprises all four components). Even less so, criteria of economic sustainabilityhave been developed for the other dimensions [Spangenberg 2005].The parameterisation of sustainable agriculture achievements is considerably moredifficult than that of conventional agriculture, as the latter generally aims at intensificationand the basic economic criterion allows to quantify the effects with regard to agiven value, i.e. efficiency, profit or profitability and to provide their absolute magnitudes[Baum 2003]. Much recent work on measuring progress towards sustainable developmenthas addressed specific issues, such as measuring climate change or the environmentaland social impacts of particular sectors (e.g. agriculture, energy and transport). Measuringsustainable development at an aggregate level, however, requires a broad integrationof indicators of economic, environmental, and social changes. One way to achieve thisintegration is to extend the traditional framework used for measuring economic activity– the National Accounts. Extensions of the National Accounts to the environmental areacurrently underway. These extensions are aimed at recording changes in environmentalassets, and at highlighting environment-related transactions (e.g. pollution abatement andcontrol expenditure). Extensions to the social area may also allow the linking of accountsmeasuring employment, human capital, and the distribution of household income andconsumption among various socio-economic groups. Measuring natural and human capitalrequires both monetary and physical data. While work in these fields has progressed,Oeconomia 10 (1) 2011
