A transformation of relations among the factors of agricultural production: land, labour and production means, is taking place in the suburban zone of Warsaw, to the detriment of land. The area of agricultural land is decreasing due to change of the type of use by turning land into various forms of non-agricultural use, including especially housing and industrial construction, and transport investment projects. This decreasing tendency of the area of agricultural land is accompanied by increasing specialization of agriculture, mainly in the direction of vegetable-fruit-and-flower production (including horticultural production of protected crops), in which optimum acreage of a farm, given intensive cultivation, could be small. Simultaneously, greenhouses, hotbeds and foil tunnels give the space of smaller towos and rural areas the specific aspect of suburban landscape.
