Support and subsidies are aimed both at improving competitiveness and sustainability. However, in order to keep its competitiveness, the agricultural sector has to conform to ever stricter measures on environmental protection. The main aim is not to increase production at all costs; instead, the task is to create and run a sector that is multi-functional, sustainable and competitive. Producing plants for biofuel and organic production have been promising trends; however, largely due to plants grown as energy resources, there is a shortage of food, prices are increasing sharply, and experts and politicians in developing countries are warning that a severe food crisis is imminent. Organic production is a potential solution for small farms that are being left behind in the fierce competition. There is no danger of overproduction, less burden on the environment, and new possibilities on the market. Generally speaking, high competitiveness is related to relatively high incomes and high employment rates, which are not characteristic of the agricultural sector in Hungary. Nevertheless, agriculture could become a very competitive and efficient sector with a positive influence on environment protection and rural employment.
