Английский. Organic system is a farming model based on the harmonious realization of ecological, economic and social objectives together. This system is defined as a farming system with sustainable crop and livestock production. Organic production should combine environmentally friendly management practices, support a high degree of biodiversity, use natural processes and ensure proper animal keeping. This article presents the organizational and production results of organic livestock farms: dairy and meat farms, located in two regions of Poland: in the Lubelskie and Podlaskie voivodeships. The results showed that the production and economic efficiency of the tested farms depended on the organization of plant and animal production. The tested farms differed slightly in the organization of crop production, including its basic determinant, as cropping pattern. Dairy farms were characterized by a higher crop productivity expressed in terms of grain units, which amounted to 688 units and was 53% higher than on farms with meat production. On the other hand, the crop productivity index per unit area was respectively: 20.7 and 22.3. cereal units·ha–1. Organic farms keeping beef cattle achieved lower levels of production performance than dairy farms. Greater economic efficiency in the management of land resources was achieved by farms with a dairy farms.
