Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the impact of various types of farms on the environment. The research was carried out in the years 2011-2016 on farms grouped according to the leading production direction. The assessment of the environmental impact of farms was made on the basis of 10 agro-ecological indicators. Pig farms, which were characterized by unfavorable (excessive) balances of nutrients and soil organic matter were the greatest threat to the environment (due to water pollution). Farms with arable field crops contributed to lowering soil fertility as they had the negative balances of nutrients. Farms with a mixed production profile and dairy farms with optimal stocking density (about 1 LU /ha UAA ) were the smallest threat to the environment and fertility of soils.
