The necessary research material turned out to be documents that were obtained from the archives of the National Center for Agricultural Support. In the light of the conducted research, it was shown that almost 50% of the resources taken over from former state-owned farms from the Lodz Voivodeship were permanently allocated (mainly through sales). The transformations that have been identified are more of a renewal and adaptation to the functions previously existing in these areas.
