ABSTRACT
The results of the evaluation of the sustainability of agricultural production in two selected farms: organic and conventional,
using RISE model, were presented in the paper. The RISE model (the Response-Inducing Sustainability Evaluation)
is a tool (computer program) for easy and holistic assessment of agricultural production sustainability at a farm level in
ecological, economic, and social aspects and enables the initiation of measures to improve the sustainability. The analysis
showed that only the organic farm was sustainable in accordance with the RISE methodology, as it attained positive values
of all the 12 indicators which were used in the analysis. The conventional farm had problems with managing fertilizers and
maintaining biodiversity. The values of the indicators of “Nitrogen and phosphorus emission potential” and „Biodiversity”
were negative, which did not allow for considering them sustainable. The RISE model can be a useful tool for the assessment
and comparison of the degree of sustainability of different types of farms.
