Abstract
Obtaining accurate and up-to-date information, followed by deepening knowledge, is a prerequisite for proper farm management. This also refers to the sustainability of a farm, understood as achieving a high score in economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Basing on a representative sample of 601 farms participating in the Polish FADN it was checked if information gathering habits of farmers are correlated with the level of farm sustainability. The analysis was carried out basing on the FADN data supported by face-to-face interviews with farmers. The analysis revealed that farmers managing more sustainable farms are more active in looking for information, and use more sophisticated channels (e.g. conducting discussions in Internet forums or reading magazines, as compared with watching TV programmes). Farmers managing more sustainable farms usually looked for information concerning plant production technology, farm production economics, environmentally-friendly farming, renewable energy sources, and farming machines.
