Abstract

Around the globe, the understanding and assessment of the sustainability of farming enterprises is among the most topical academic and practical issues. At the current stage of development and reforming of European agriculture, the question about the level of sustainability of different types of farming enterprises during the implementation of the European Union Common Agricultural Policy (EU CAP) is particularly topical. However, there is still no consensus on questions such as “what is the sustainability of farming enterprises?”, “what is the relation between the sustainability of farms and agrarian sustainability?”, “which are the critical factors behind the sustainability of farms”, and “how to evaluate the sustainability level of farming enterprises?”.
