Summary/Abstract: Organic farming is a system of farming that uses natural processes used in the farm. The aim of organic farming is the production of food of healthy high quality and the keeping of environmental areas in the natural state. Dynamic development of organic farming in Poland has been observed since 2004. At that time there were introduced the subsidies to organic agricultural production for holdings with the certificate of conformity and in the course of transformation. Purpose of this paper is to present a statistical analysis of the structure of the area of the organic farms in Polish voivodeships in the years 2007-2010. To divide the set of objects into subsets, which is characterised by a relatively low degree of variations of the tested structure is used the method of elimination of vectors. Chain measure of variation of structures will enable to evaluate the course of structural changes.
