The Act on FSDN signed by the President of Poland

On 20 March 2025, President Andrzej Duda signed the Act on the Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN).

 

The aim of the Act is to align national legislation with the provisions in force in the European Union concerning the collection of accountancy data from agricultural holdings and, in particular, to introduce into the Polish legal order solutions for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1217/2009, establishing a data network on the Farm Sustainability Data Network.

 

In Poland, the implementation of FSDN related tasks will be the responsibility of the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – National Research Institute, which acts as the FSDN Liaison Agency.

 

The new Act will come into force 14 days after its announcement that is 9.04.2025. At the same time, the Act of 29 November 2000 on the collection and use of accountancy data from agricultural holdings will be repealed.
