The changing conditions in agriculture enforce the need for constant monitoring of phenomena. One of the issues that require revision is the division into four agricultural regions applicable in the Polish FADN research. This division may have become outdated due to the long time that has passed since its creation. The aim of the article is to analyse environmental, agricultural, economic and social phenomena in Polish voivodships and to determine homogeneous groupings of voivodships on their basis.
For the analysis, variables from 2016 were purposively selected from the databases of Statistics Poland, ISSPC-SRI, Institute of Labour and Social Affairs and Polish FADN. A statistical evaluation of the selected indicators was carried out and using the k-means cluster analysis groups of voivodships with similar values of these indicators were distinguished.
As a result of statistical procedures, with the assumed territorial compactness, six clusters were determined. The obtained results lead to the conclusion that it is necessary to conduct further analyses in order to update the assessment of trends in agriculture.
The article is a prelude to further research work in terms of verification of the regional distribution of FADN, which will be based on data from the Census of Agriculture 2020.
