Purpose: The aim of the article is to evaluate the significance of European Union funds for the development of the regions of Eastern Poland, by focusing on the benefits of obtaining this type of financial support Design/methodology/approach: When collecting empirical material for the article, the method of economic and general statistics was used. The time range of the research covers the years 2004-2018. The rationale for the location of the research is the peripheral location of Eastern Poland voivodeships and the related problems of low growth and economic development, low population density, and low income of local governments and residents. Moreover, this part of Poland benefits from a special European Union Program that financially supports the development of the researched regions. Findings: The research has showed that all voivodships of Eastern Poland narrowed their distance to the national average as it was there that the influence of the cohesion policy on the pace of development was the strongest. Originality/value: The article presents the use of European Union funds, supporting the cohesion policy implemented by local governments in Eastern Poland and the effects of support based on selected indicators, including the absorption rate developed by the present author.

The aim of the study is to present the spatial differentiation of the level of support for rural renewal and rural development from the Rural Development Program (RDP) funding in the programming periods 2007-2013 and 2014-2020. The empirical material of the article is based on data from the Central Statistical Office and the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture. Analysis of the absorption level showed a large regional differentiation. Most of the funding from the EU programs in the area of renewal and rural development is gained by regions of high economic strength - Mazovia and Wielkopolska. It is a positive phenomenon, however, that the regions of Eastern Poland, considered economically the weakest, were able to take advantage of opportunities and also obtain large financial resources to support their renewal and development. It can be said that the absorption process has contributed to reducing the differences in the level of development and restoration of rural areas in the economically disadvantaged regions of Poland (Eastern Poland). The results of the statistical analysis confirm the existence of significant dependencies between the amount of funds paid for the renewal and development of rural areas and the economic activity of the rural population.

Purpose: The aim of the study is to identify and to assess barriers to the purchase of organic food from local producers in the opinion of consumers. Three groups of barriers were analyzed, i.e. product-related barriers, barriers related to consumers and barriers related to the communication process, depending on such consumer characteristics as: gender, age, education, place of residence and wealth. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis includes the opinions of all surveyed consumers of organic food and, for comparison, the opinions of a selected group of consumers who buy a local product. The empirical material of the work consists of the results of a survey conducted among 850 organic food consumers in Poland. The research was conducted in December 2020 using the CAWI method. Findings: The research shows that, among the barriers to purchasing organic food from local producers analyzed in this paper, barriers related to the product, including its high price, are of the greatest importance for consumers, which especially applies to consumers buying local organic food products. On the other hand, the remaining barriers, i.e. those related to consumers and the communication process, are of little importance for the surveyed consumers. Originality/value: The article presents the barriers to the purchase of organic food from local producers, three groups of barriers were analyzed, i.e. product-related barriers, barriers related to consumers and barriers related to the communication process.
